How do you get QBI income to pick up other income? I entered a 1099 in other income and checked self employment income but Lacerte isn't picking it up for QBI.

Everyone gave you the correct answer already, but just to clarify.  QBI = qualified business income.  Business income is reported on a schedule C, not on line 21.  You see where this is going right?  There is no way to include line 21 income as QBI.

If is subject to SE tax, it belongs on a Schedule C.  So put it on Schedule C.
