Repayment of signing bonus in subsequent year

In September of 2017, I received a signing bonus from my new job. Since I did not stay for two years I had to pay back half of my bonus. I was able to fill out a FICA consent form which allowed me to avoid paying back the social security and Medicare taxes. I was also told that I would receive a form W-2C to reflect this.

My questions are as follows:

Is it possible to get the rest of the taxes back on my 2018 return? If it is, can I do this myself without an accountant's help? If I can do it myself using TurboTax, which version would I need and how would it be done?

Thank you in advance for any help!
