You report your business expenses.
The program computes the Qualified Business Deduction.
You don't choose between the two, they are not options, they are separate deductions.
After you enter your expenses/business deductions the program figures the 20% that is the Qualified Business Deduction (QBI).
You are not allowed to NOT report expenses in order to boost the QBI.
