Question

Can we deduct 4 months of lost wages due to the covid 19 virus

can we deduct 4 months of lost wages since my wife could not work due to the covid 19 virus

No, you cannot deduct lost wages.

But your wife's W-2 will show less income if she didn't receive wages during that time and therefore your taxable income will be lower.
