If you itemize deductions, you can claim $13,000 there. If not, you will want to take a credit against your tax liability. Here are your options and how to do it, see What is a Claim of Right Repayment.
See also example on page 36 of Pub 525. You will want to determine which is better for you, the credit or the deduction. If the credit is best, you will need to download the desktop version and move your .data file so you can pick right up where you left off.
You may need to file Form 843 for Medicare and Social Security taxes to be refunded, also on page 36, third column.
