I had previously classified this client as a consulting firm, which is an SSTB. They have explained to me that their core operations and business activities are engineering, which I accept.  Engineering is an exception to SSTB treatment.  Is an amended return required or suggested?

Were they unable to take the QBI deduction because of this?

If yes I would amend. If no, I'd let it be.

Yes, income on shareholder1040 was above the threshold and that prevented QBI.

Thank you kindly.
