How and when do I file for tuition reimbursement after paying it back

Hi,

 

I switched companies in 2021 and so I paid back the tuition reimbursement. The issue is, the tuition I paid my employer back was for the last 2 years.

2019- 4k paid back for this year

2020-10k paid back for this year

2021-4k paid back for this year

 

I paid the company back in early 2022. So my question is do I not need to file for the tax return until 2022 tax due data since 2022 is the year I paid it back? Also how do I go about filing for this tax return?

 

I would appreciate any expert advice.
