2017 tax law changed this

One of the law’s changes allowed owners of pass-through businesses—partnerships, sole proprietorships, and S corporations—to deduct 20 percent of their qualified business income (QBI) when calculating their taxes.

That 20% is not in addition to the standard deduction. It only comes into play if your total deductions exceed the standard deduction.
