use the amount showing in Box 3 as Benefits Paid on the Form 1099-SSA.
The amount you have to enter in TurboTax (or any other tax software), or on line 6a of Form 1040, is the amount from SSA-1099 box 5, not box 3. Usually they are the same, but if there is a repaid amount in box 4, box 5 will be box 3 minus box 4. The SSA-1099 entry screen in TurboTax specifically tells you to enter the amount from box 5.
