Yes that's how it works and how you file. You file a Joint personal return and include Schedule C for self employment. Did you get any 1099Misc or just cash income?

Click on jump to schedule c and this should bring you to the Did you have any income and expenses for a business in 2016? screen and you choose Yes there and follow the prompts.

Just to be clear on this ... My husband has a W-2 and I will only have a 1099 with schedule C ... The Turbo Tax Self Employed will work for us to file jointly?
