QBI questions

Hi there!

 

I'm reading about the rules around QBIs, and it says that SSTBs are excluded. "Consulting" is listed as an SSTB.

 

Can you elaborate more on what "consulting" covers? I feel like that is a super broad term! 

I'm leaving my current employer to become a freelance consultant, providing trainings, facilitating policy reviews, conducting internal audits, etc. Would that be excluded from the QBI deduction because I'm a "consultant"?

Additionally, I'm planning to establish an LLC to provide wellness and coaching services - would that qualify as consulting?

 

If you can recommend any good resources to better understand QBI, I'd be very happy to receive them.

 

Thanks for the clarification!
