You probably don’t need to contact a tax pro, just bear with the explanation.
It sounds like you made repayments in 2022 for an amount that was included in your 2020 income, is that correct?
If that’s the case, there’s no issue for you until you file your 2022 return, next year.
If you repaid it in 2021, you can address it this year, on the 2021 tax return you’ll file this year.
If you’ve had to repay more than $3,000 that you had included in your income in a prior year, you may be able to deduct the amount, or take a credit against your tax, in the year you repaid the income. See Repayments in Publication 525, Taxable and Nontaxable Income for more information.
Repayments of amounts of $3,000 or less aren’t allowed as a Miscellaneous Itemized Deduction. Please see IRS Publication 529, Miscellaneous Deductions.
