Hi,

Me and my wife both were on H1 last year. I had 2 W2s last year, and my wife was working as a contractor for the first 3 months last year and then she was on a W2 for the rest of the year. She got a 1099-MISC from the contractor for the first three months of last year.
Could you tell me how I should be filing? Do I need to file on schedule C?

Thanks

Yes, you will need to file both a Schedule C to document the Form 1099-MISC income (and, hopefully, claim deductions associated with that income) and Schedule SE to calculate and pay the self-employment tax.

These two schedules are attached to Form 1040.
