If I did a job in 2022 but didn’t get paid for it until 2023, which year do I claim the income for? 2022 or 2023?

You would normally claim the income when your received it, in 2023 in this case. The only exception would be if you chose to consistently report your income on an accrual basis as opposed to the cash basis, but that is rare.
