QBI Calculation

BobYCPA
Level 2

Client has a small Schedule C which generated a profit of $1,510.  The 2021 Lacerte Tax Program is showing QBI of $1,407 (Income of $1,510 less allocated deduction for one-half of self-employment tax of $107) and a QBI deduction of $281.  The 2020 program reduced the QBI to zero by also showing an allocated deduction for self-employed health insurance.  Did I miss a change in this calculation for 2021 tax returns?  Or is Lacerte not calculating this properly?

That has always been the case, and was specifically clarified in 2020.

Thank you very much.  I guess I have a few amended returns to file for 2020.
