Self employed

No.  The QBI is deducted in the year you received the self-employment income.  When you moved it into a retirement plan, even though it was from self-employment, it became retirement income and is no longer self-employment income.  Since it is now retirement income and was not earned in 2022, you cannot take the QBI deduction for that income.  Also, you technically received a tax break in the year you made the contribution, so you cannot double dip and get a second tax break on the same income.
