  3. Scroll down and click Show more to the right of Other Deductions and Credits.
  4. Click Start to the right of Other Deductible Expenses.
  5. Proceed through the screens until you get to the Did you have any of these less common expenses? screen.  If your repayment amount was $3,000 or less, answer Yes.  Otherwise, answer No.
  6. On the next screen, Did you have any of these other expenses?, answer Yes if your repayment amount was over $3,000.
  7. Report your repayment amount in the Claim of right repayment over $3,000 box, then select Continue at the bottom of the screen.

  1. Select Federal on the left side menu.
  2. Select Wages & Income toward upper left.
    Click Edit to the right of Job (W2).
  3. Click Edit to the right of your W2 entry.
  4. Click Continue.
  5. Make your corrections on this page.
