qualified business income deduction

I am confused on the qualification of the qualified business income deduction.  I have two scenarios

 

1.  A sole proprietor massage therapist performs her duties for a chiropractor's office.  No other expenses, but is 1099'ed.  Would this income qualify?

 

2.  A special education teacher works through an agency. Visits clients and is 1099'ed.  Has mileage deductions etc.  Would this income quality?

 

Does it matter if you are 1099-misc or 1099-NEC?

 

In practice, would any 1099 person qualify for this since they are self employed?
