Received retroactive pay from 2022 but received check in 2023

Hi

 

I was waiting for my background check and paperwork to go through for in-home supportive services. I was retroactively paid from 11/22 to the end of 12/2022. I just received my retro pay this month 3/2023. Do I file or claim that income for 2022 taxes or do I wait until next year since I received the paycheck in 2023? I was not giving a w2 since it's been recently since I was approved for retro pay. No federal or state taxes were withheld but on the retro paychecks fica and social security were taken out.
