Why is my QBI deduction so low compared to 20% of my business net income?

The QBI calculated by TT is only $236.  Yet, my total taxable income (MFJ) is $100,534 and my schedule C business net income is $10,372.  Reviewing the QBI Form 8995 worksheet from IRS, I would seem to qualify for 20% of the $10,372, give or take other minor subtractions from net income.  So, I think QBI deduction should be around $2,000 not $236.

 

All of my gross income is coming from a Form 1099-NEC.  Should my customer have used 1099-MISC instead?  Perhaps that might be the problem?

 

Thanks.
