Do you have a formal partnership established?

For a little light reading to get you started before you contact a paid tax professional. https://www.thetaxadviser.com/issues/2008/aug/avoidingtheself-rentaltrap.html

H&W count as 1 taxpayer.  Partnership requires at least 2 partners.  

I have seen 1065s with H&W as sole partners, but I do not think it's right

[TaxGuyBill]

They may be considered as one taxpayer for some purposes, but not for determining if a Partnership exists.

"i have a business paid rent to my wife"

Is this part of the rental partnership?

[tpham141762]

Yes, it is a part of the rental partnership.
