It is 2023. It's the issue date (1 business day after the business day you buy) that matters.

Wasn't sure if it was treated like an IRA when you have until tax day in April to fund it for previous year.

I just found out you change bank accounts on TD without going through pure hell, it took seconds to do.

Thanks

Whenever it’s issued is what year it counts. It normally takes a day or two. You can log back into TreasuryDirect and check. If it says 12/01/2022, it’s a 2022 purchase. 01/01/2023, it’s a 2023 purchase.

Anything initiated today will almost certainly be a 2023 purchase.

Wait, you can easily change bank accounts on TreasuryDirect now?

Yes. When I initially signed up for TD, I put Discover as my bank account because I was getting ready to switch my direct deposit to them but then started reading horror stories about Discover so I didn't follow through with the change but it was too late for TD and there was no way I was going to go through their nightmare of changing so I gave up the idea of buying I bonds until I read a thread on Bogleheads that said it changed. Like I said, it took seconds to add Fidelity and delete Discover.

Nice! I’ll have to update mine as well.
