Because the work your husband is doing is not the same type of work or job for which he is paid W-2 wages, this self-employed business is eligible for the Qualified Business Income (QBI) deduction.
The reason TurboTax asks that question is that the IRS wants to prevent people switching from their W-2 job to doing the same work as an independent contractor, solely to take the QBI deduction. The circumstance described for your husband does not fall into that category.
