Shouldn’t I still get the 20% pass thru deduction since I did not gross over $157,500?

I am winding down my law practice as a solo practitioner and grossed only $13,000 in 2018.  Even if I am considered a specified service trade and business, shouldn't the 20% pass thru apply to me since the income is less than $157,500?

maybe.  

taxable income after subtracting capital gains has to be positive 

from the net schedule c income subtract any amounts on schedule 1 lines 27,28 and 29.    is the result positive? 

finally did you complete the QBI section of the schedule C worksheet
