Get your taxes done using TurboTax

wait for the SSA-1099 from Social security.

if it was in the same year as the payment there should be no issue the SSA-1999 should reflect the net

if in a subsequent year and the amount repaid was $3,000 or less then under current tax laws you do not get a deduction or credit. in effect, you're taxed as if it was never paid back.

if over $3,000 then. claim a credit for the amount repaid computed as follows

recompute your tax for the year received as if it had not been received. the difference in taxes (original vs recomputed)  is the credit to claim in year of repayment.  it goes on schedule 3 line 12d and indicate as "IRC 1341".
