"Can I claim my NYS taxes paid to the irs last year on this years federal returns"
I hope you didn't pay your New York tax to the IRS. The IRS handles only federal tax. You have to pay your New York tax to the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance.
On your 2022 federal tax return you can claim an itemized deduction for any New York tax that you paid IN 2022 (provided that you actually paid it to New York). It doesn't matter what year the state tax payments were FOR.
But the deduction might not make any difference in your federal tax. Besides the $10,000 (or $5,000) limit on total state and local taxes that VolvoGirl discussed, it's an itemized deduction. That means that it won't make any difference in your federal tax unless your total itemized deductions are more than your standard deduction.
