If the corrected W2 for 2022 shows $44000 less in income then yes - you should amend your 2022 return. That solves your problem and will result in you receiving a refund of the taxes that you paid at that time.
If the corrected W2 does not show $44000 less in income then you can enter the amount that you repaid as a deduction in your 2023 return. Go to the "Deductions and Credits" section and scroll all the way down to the last entry for "Miscellaneous Deductions" Click start there and answer the questions until you get to "Did you repay more than $3000 that you were taxed on in a previous year?" Answer yes and then enter the amount.
