Do I add my cars tax expense onto my 2022 return since they are from 2022, but I paid them late in early 2023?

The car wasn’t running until this year so I forgot to pay the taxes in 2022 and had to pay delinquent taxes in 2023. Since they are 2022 taxes that were paid in 2023, are they still able to go onto the return?

No, you can only claim the taxes in the year you paid them. So if you didn't pay them until 2023, you would not be able to claim them until next year when you file your 2023 taxes.
