My husband is an author. Does he qualify for the qualified business deduction? Most of his sales are in the US, but he does have a little business in other countries.

His payment are set up through Amazon.com. So is it qualified business income?

Yes, self-employment income as an author is Qualified business income and your husband is eligible for the QBI deduction if he has a net profit from the activity.
