the amount of negative qbi for 2024 is the same number shown as income. the SIMPLE contribution plus deduction for SE equals the income. There were no publicly traded partnerships, or other business losses, in previous years. From what you explain, it seems the number for 2024 would be zero, instead of a negative number that is the same as income. Strange.
There is a tiny QBI deduction stemming from etf investments, which is figured separately.
