You can file for your wife and from what you describe you should not need a joint sponsor. As long as your wife has TPS and employment authorization you can use her income combined with yours. You will want to review her entry into the US and other matters prior to filing with an attorney however.

Since your wife is working legally through TPS, her income can be counted under your household income.

You will need a joint sponsor, because for a family of 4 persons, the minimum income requirement is $28,812 per year.
