The qualified business income deduction would not be added to your income for any reason. It appears on line 13 of your form 1040 and would be subtracted from your adjusted gross income listed on line 11. It does not have a negative sign next to it, so it may appear as an addition but it is a subtraction from income:

You can look at your Form 1040 to verify this:
