Qualified business income on Schedule C: what is it? I have an honorarium that I entered and I have no expenses. TT is asking if "Qual business inc - yes or no".

I received an honorarium in 2018 and got a 1099-MISC.  When I entered the amount under section '1099-MISC and other income'.  TT has it under the 'Business Income' section and asked questions about Schedule C, including Qualified business income.

Yes, if the honorarium was received as payment for some type of professional services in your field, I would say that this would be eligible for QBI which will get you a deduction from taxes.
