Default Re: Schedule C question? ? ?

Each distinctly seperate business FOR AN INDIVIDUAL
requires a seperate Schedule C, but related business can be
on one Schedule C, such as CPA and tax preparer, but not CPA
and lawn maintence company.

Each taxpayer follows the above rules seperately from
spouse. This is because each spouse has his/her own SE tax
computations.

So, each spouse files an SE if they also must file a
seperate (or multiple)Schedule C.

No. Your wife is the proprietor for her business, not you.
Your return will have [at least] two Schedule Cs.

IRS rules require that you file a separate Schedule C for
every separate business. For example, if you were an
attorney who also raises chickens, then you would have to
file two Schedule Cs.

You and your wife are not operating one business but two.
So two Schedule Cs are required. In addition, you each owe
Self Employment Social Security Tax on your individual
earnings.

No, they are two separate businesses. You have to report
them on two separate Schedule Cs. If you file a joint
return, you can include both Schedule Cs in the joint
return.

Use two different Schedules C because a) these are two
distinct businesses and it would be wrong to combine,
expecially if one business had losses and one had gains, and
b) each of you wants proper social security/medicare credit
based on this work.

Not a good idea. Include two Schedules Cs in your return
and also two Schedule SEs to calculate the self-employment
tax for each venture.

Nope. Her business income and her business expenses go on
her Schedule C. Your business income and your business
expenses go on your Schedule C.

No. You each have to have your own Sched C (as these
are separate businesses), though the bottom lines from
each business will be combined onto the business income
line of 1040.

No. One Schedule C per business. You'll also each have a
Schedule SE.

Default Schedule C question? ? ?

For quite a few years I've used a Schedule C to report my
modest income from freelance writing.

My wife has now started a small business counseling
homeowners who are selling their houses.

Since we file a joint return, can I use the same Schedule C
to report both incomes?
