Income you gave back

Assuming you are on a cash basis you report income in the year received and expenses in the year paid. 

Income you gave back

I don't think it is income and would not include that or the repayment anywhere.

 

The money never belonged to you.  Just like a refundable deposit, it does not count as taxable income until it 'belongs' to you.
