Deductions & credits

Yes, that's quite common.  If you did not select the option for federal withholding, then the Social Security Administration (SSA) does not take any.  You can change your mind and have federal tax withheld in the future. 

A repayment of the same benefits you received in 2023 (received and paid back in the same year) are not taxable. Your SSA-1099 should reflect this.  The following publication discusses the boxes as indicated above and a description of each box on your form. The SSA should have offset your benefits in box 5 by any amount you repaid in 2023 (box 4).
