I received a 1099-MISC with non employee compensation for purchases in excess of $5000.  Is this qualified business income?  Should the business name be my name and address or the the company name on the 1099-MISC?

    When you are entering the information about your business on Schedule C, use your own name and address (or the name of your business if there is a separate name), not the name of the company shown on the Form 1099-MISC.

     

    If you are a sole proprietor filing Schedule C, then your income is qualified business income unless you fall into a category of SSTBs (Specified Service Trade or Business) whose total taxable income exceeds $157,500 ($315,000 if filing jointly).

     

    To learn more about the Qualified Business Income deduction, see the following TurboTax article:

     

    What is the Qualified Business Income (QBI) deduction?

    How do I go back and change the address and double check the QBI?  The business that paid me the money is not an SSTB.
