If you were not qualified to make the contribution, you can choose not to make the contribution. You will have to amend your return to correct the excess contribution penalty- which is probably a good idea. You can make all the corrections and then it should match what the IRS calculated for the taxable social security.
If you have questions as you do the amendment, please let us know.
