I have client with a 1099 his spouse has w2. When I review the return income from 1099 doesn't show. I want to make sure that what is being calculated is correct so that I can give the correct refund to them. Is there something that I'm missing?

Line 21 is now Sch 1, Line 8. The input is under Income > SS Benefits, Alimony, Misc. Income. Scroll down to Alimony and Other Income for Other income (Click on button to expand) and enter the amount under the taxpayer's column.

If it is subject to SE-tax, on the other hand, it should be entered under Income > Business Income (Sch C).

More details always helps. Is that 1099-Misc? Box #? The 1099 might be Rent income; or Royalty income. Or 1099-Int? Don't enter it as Other Income if it is a type that has a different specific treatment.

Yes it is 1099 misc. Box #7. That's his source of income. I just want to make sure that the way it generated was correct. As it seems as though the refund is based off of w2 of spouse.

Not sure what you mean by that. Each additional $ the couple earns would theoretically change the effective tax rate and possible put them in a higher tax bracket.

Assuming no tax was withheld on the 1099-MISC, as would normally be the case, that there was no overpayment applied from 2018, no ES-tax was paid, and taxes were only withheld on the W-2, any refund would definitely have come from the spouse's W-2's FIT (likely as a result of the W-4 having been adjusted to account for dual earner income).
