Oh--no----stop. You cannot combine 2022 income and 2023 income on the same tax return. That is a big mistake. Delete all of the 2022 income from the tax return you have prepared. The online program is only for 2023. Each tax year has to be prepared and filed separately, using the software and forms for the specific year in which you received the income. Only your 2023 income should be on the return you have prepared using the online software.
When you try to e-file 2023, it is going to ask you for a 2022 AGI. Use zero, since you did not file a 2022 return. If zero will not let you e-file 2023, you will have to file 2023 by mail.
In order to prepare a tax return for 2022 and use the income you received in 2022, you have to use the CD/download software on a full PC or Mac, and mail that tax return. It cannot be e-filed.
You cannot change the tax year. The current online program is for 2023 only. Only a 2023 return can be prepared online and only a 2023 return can be e-filed.
Online preparation and e-filing for 2020, 2021, and 2022 is permanently closed.
To file a return for a prior tax year
If you need to prepare a return for 2020, 2021, or 2022 you can purchase and download desktop software to do it, then print, sign, and mail the return(s)

You may also want to explore purchasing the software from various retailers such as Amazon, Costco, Best Buy, Walmart, Sam’s, etc.
Remember to prepare your state return as well—if you live in a state that has a state income tax.

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.
Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses. Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
Note: The desktop software you need to prepare the prior year return must be installed/downloaded to a full PC or Mac. It cannot be used on a mobile device.
If you are getting a refund, there is not a penalty for filing past the deadline. If you owe taxes, the interest/penalties will be calculated by the IRS based on how much you owe and when they receive your return and payment. The IRS will bill you for this; it will not be calculated by TurboTax.
