Can I pay my wife as a contract labor ?

Thanks for joining the Community space, @txchristina76. I'm here to help you with your concern today.

Yes, you can pay your wife as contract labor in QuickBooks Self-Employed. Just use the contractor labor expenses to categorize payments you make to contractors. 

I'd also suggest, you reach out to your accountant for proper guidance in handling your transactions. This way, we can ensure that your tax reports are accurate.
