Question

Does anyone know how to code a Form 1099-NEC as QBI? I don't see a way.

Skip the 1099-NEC input section and enter the amount on Schedule C.

The more I know the more I don’t know.

Thank you, but that doesn't solve the problem. That doesn't help because I am expressly trying to avoid filing a Schedule C for a single 1099-NEC. Schedule Cs are audit flags and it seems like overkill to generate a Schedule C for a single 1099. It seems that Intuit could easily fix this problem by adding a box on the input field for a 1099-NEC that says "QBI - yes or no."

It's either a business or it's not a business.  If it's a business, the income goes on Schedule C "Profit or Loss From Business" and the taxpayer may be eligible for a QBI deduction for "Qualified Business Income".  If it's not a business it doesn't go on schedule C and is not eligible for QBID.
