we are married filing jointly. can I enter information on a single schedule 1 for both spouses or should I file separate schedule 1 for each spouse. 

one spouse has business income to be entered on line 3 of schedule 1 (and schedule C and SE).

other spouse has other income from BOX 3 of I099-MISC to be entered on line 8 of schedule 1.

If you are "married, filing jointly", then you cannot have two Schedule 1s in the return.

 

If one spouse has business income, it gets reported on Schedule C and Schedule SE (not on Schedule 1).

the income from schedule C needs to be entered on line 3 of schedule 1 as well.

I have to paper file my return. seeking advice for that.


So are you filling it all  out by hand?  Or using Turbo Tax?  And why do you have to mail it?  If you use Turbo Tax then just mail what they print out.
