The SSA-1099 received is incorrect and we haven't received a correct one. Also the amount in box 5 is negative and not showing on the 1040, why?

We are entered the correct information for the SSA-1099 as we have been in contact with the social security office and they agree it should be correct.  Benefits and taxes were paid back from 2016 amounts received in 2017.  Why is the negative amount not showing on line 20 of the 1040?

Also, should we paper file instead of e-file the return since the information being filed does not agree with what was provided to the IRS?
