Thanks for the update, @pretzel wagon.
I'll provide further insights as to why your new rental account (Rent Income - 1099) is still not showing up under the Accounts used for 1099 list when preparing your Form 1099s in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).
Based on your description, I can tell that you're already on the right track in editing your chart of accounts to ensure separate accounts are available for your 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC forms. However, it's either your journal entry is excluded from the 1099 or incorrectly included on 1099.
When a vendor payment is entered as a journal entry, the vendor name should be included only on the line containing the expense account, or any other account that represents the reportable payment to the vendor. Once both the debit and credit lines include the vendor name, then both amounts will be picked up by the 1099 calculations and will zero each other out. That's when a journal Entry is excluded from 1099.
On the other hand, when you create a journal entry and include a vendor's name, and the account on the line with the vendor's name is mapped to a 1099 box (on step 2 of "Prepare 1099s"), then that amount will get included on 1099 for that vendor. Then, once you include a vendor's name and map an account to 1099, QuickBooks assumes that this is a reportable payment.
To check, I encourage you to pull up and customize the Journal report to find journal entries for your vendors. Go to the Reports menu and select Accountant & Taxes. Then, double-click each to modify their data.
