QBI taxable income

On my QBI Deduction Summary, my net QBI is 103,253,  yielding a 20% QBI of $20,651.  But then on Line 19 it lists "taxable income before qualified business income deduction" as $74,553.  20% of this amount is $14,911, so this becomes my QBI. Where does the $74,553 come from? I have 0 capital gains (line 20). I don't understand how my net qualified business income of $103,253 is reduced to a taxable income of $74,553. Can anyone please explain?

In forms mode, if you right-click the amount on line 19 and click Data Source on the pop-up menu, it tells you where it comes from and gives you a link to the source. Apparently line 19 is your AGI (Form 1040 line 11) minus your standard deduction or itemized deductions (Form 1040 line 12).

Thank you so much! I have been using TT for decades and I had no idea about that right-click feature, hugely helpful. I really appreciate your rapid assistance!

for QBI purposes QBI income can't exceed 20% of taxable income before the QBI deduction reduced by Long-term capital gains and qualified dividends
