Last October (2022) I paid an accountant to lodge old tax returns that I didn't do when I was a teenager. Am I able to claim the cost of that this year (2022-23 tax return)? These returns were from 2010s.

The ATO pages refer to managing affairs without specifically referring to, for example, "the previous tax year". This is, of course, perfectly logical if you've missed a year, need to catch up, need to lodge an amendment or objection, etc.
