I withdrew my application for social security benefits in 2023 as I returned to work.
So that I may claim/file again later and receive a higher benefit, I repaid the full amounts received in 2022 and 2023. This was a total of $29,648 of which $10,216 was my distribution in 2022.
I am very confused on how to claim a credit for the 2022 distribution for which I paid taxes in my 2022 return. I followed the advice given to others by Turbotax and the result in not changing my tax obligations. I am taking the standard deduction as I have very little to itemize.... hopefully this doesn't prevent me for getting credit this year for repaying the distribution made in 2022.
Thank you, FS
