@Opus 17thank you for your responses here, they are extremely helpful! What if i) the amount I had to repay back in a subsequent year was less than $3,000, ii) received an amended w2 (w-2c) but box 1 was empty, and iii) my 2019 returns, which is the year I repaid the bonus, will use the standard deduction as I have no itemized deduction (other than this potential repayment)? Am I out of luck? If so that's kind of BS! How is that fair?
