You and your wife can file a Married filing Jointly return. Enter both w-2s, making sure to indicate who each form belongs to. Then you will add a Schedule C to your return for your 1099. That is self-employment income and gets reported on Schedule C, which is a business schedule.
You can use your name and home address for the business, but the Schedule belongs to you and will be part of your jointly filed return.
