The QBI deduction calculation does not seem correct. QBI is being reduced by deductible portion of SE tax

<P>I would expect that the QBI used to determine the 20% deduction is equal to the business net profit on Schedule C. However, on the QBI component worksheet and the QBI deduction simplified worksheet the net profit has been reduced by the deductible portion of my self employment tax. This does not seem correct</P>

Please I need your help guys

as I am filing my taxes- I face some confusing for QBI form- I did two separate Schedules C for self-employment- and did1 schedule SE for both where I calculate the total profit of both and I got the total tax self-employment deduction-

when it comes to filling out the QBI- I wonder how to do column c for each business where is the qualified business income- meaning is it ok to minus each business profit from the total amount self-employed tax deduction that I have in one Sch SE? my confusion is because that tax amount is combined both businesses in one form, so should I do two schedules SE?
