The answer is not clear. I am a self employed Medicare sales agent. I receive 1099 and run my business from my home. I do not seem to fit into the excluded list you mention above. I believe I am able to receive this deduction. Do you agree?
Nothing in your posts indicate that you don't qualify for it, which means you likely do qualify for it.
I'm finding that TurboxTax is not identifying my 1099-misc income as QBI for the 20% discount when I identify my work as 'insurance'. If I change it to 'consulting' and leave all numbers the same, TurboTax will generate Form 8995 with the income as QBI and the 20% deduction.
The income should qualify. Any ideas why it is not?
