If the QBI is from law practice, it would not meet the exception for SSTB since your client's taxable income is above the threshold.

The reason it's flowing through is probably because you didn't check the box that the ToB is an SSTB.

The income is looking kinda hefty there for QBI.....What happens when you enter the K-1 into the clients return?

I am getting the deduction since other expenses are coming off the K-1.

'.... since other expenses are coming off the K-1."
