I believe what you mean is you received tax-free SSI benefits and now you have to pay them back, so you want to know if you can deduct the repayment on your tax return. If so, you can not since you never declared the SSI benefits as income on your tax return. After you pay them back you will have not suffered an economic hardship relating to the payback of monies you previously received or paid tax on income that you weren't able to keep.
