What was the question?

Client has a real estate business, reported on Sch C. In the past, Wife did not work in that business except for helping him a little with the bookkeeping.

The client gives me a quickbooks detailed profit and loss report for the Sch C business and no 1099-MISC forms. But it now appears that wife received a form 1099-MISC in 2008, and the husband received a form 1099-MISC. Both of these amounts were reported on one Sch C under hubby's SSN and should have been split into two Sch C forms along with the relative expenses. I did not know she started working in this real estate business.

So now I'm preparing a second Sch C for the wife, but what to do with the home office expense? I'd like to put the whole thing on Wife's Sch C because Hubby took a W2 job and she will be the only one active in the Sch C business in the future. Can I simply continue the home office under her new Sch C?
