Can qbi count for a temporary sch. c job

[Binky]

client is a personal trainer. in between w-2 jobs she worked as a person trainer for one person at his home. she did this for 3 months and then took the second w-2 job.  does the 3  month's income count for as qualified business income?

Is there something that you read / know that would make you think it would not be?

[Binky]

yes.  per natp seminar, the taxpayer must be involved continually and regularly.  She worked 3 months in visiting a person.  I wasn't sure that qualified.  She made $400 per month.  

[Ernie]

So they are saying if it is a hobby it does not count.  Otherwise it counts.  Did she do it as a hobby or a business when she was doing it?

[Binky]

It's her job.  I was just thrown by the fact that so little time was spent doing it.  Thank you for straightening that out for me.  I very much appreciate it.

Glad to help.
