[dashelter]

Hello.
Last year I was employed as an independent contractor by a company while my wife has been employed as an employee (1099) . Hiw do we file jointy or do we need to file seperately?
Which turbotax software do we use: Deluxe? or Home and Business?

Please advise and thanks.

If your wife's income was reported on Form 1099-NEC, the company treating her as an independent contractor and she too must file Schedule C.
