You can deduct the payments you made in 2023 against that year's unemployment income reported on the Form 1099-G only if the repayments belong to benefits overpaid in 2023. The only problem is the IRS will get a copy of the 1099-G form and if you report a smaller amount of income than what is on it, they may send you a notice about it later. It would be best to get them to correct the Form 1099-G if possible.
