I was temporarily disabled (Jul 15-Sep 16) from work, and had both sick leave paid to me (taxable) and third-party insurance paid to me (non-taxable). The insurance company required me to file for SS Disability to recoup part of their payments, which I did. In 2017 (long after I was working again), SS finally sent me a lump sum for the prior 14 month disability period. I then had to send part of that money to the insurance company to reimburse them for their payments. I now have a 2017 SSA-1099 listing the entire SS disability payment as taxable income (due to my other income that year), but only a letter from the insurance company listing the amount repaid to them, with no type of IRS form. I called them, and they said they don't issue any. How do I account for this in Turbotax, so I'm not paying tax on the entire SS award, including the portion I was required to reimburse to the insurance company? The IRS obviously has a copy of my SSA-1099, so I can't just randomly change the amount to reflect the full award less the portion I was required to send the insurance company, without any explanation. Any suggestions?
