Deductions & credits

The deduction may be coming from a K-1 entry that you made. You may have an investment in a partnership or S corporation that has QBI income, so you would get a deduction for that.

 

Also, you may have entered a form 1099-MISC that reported income in box 7. That would be considered self-employment income even if you don't consider yourself self-employed. You would be entitled to a QBI deduction for that also.
