It's none of my business how you report or do not report income but there are major advantages if you guys form an LLC.
First off you get to expense a portion of your home on your taxes and lot os other advantages.
I've formed multiple LLC in the past and have used this company - you can do it for as little as $79 to form a Delaware Corporation (no corp tax)

The other advantage is that Section 179 of the U.S. Tax code limits have been restored so there's 50% Bonus Depreciation on Equipment purchased in 2014.
