How can I file a Claim of Right Repayment Credit for Income Tax paid for tax year 2017 on Social Security Disability Benefits that I must repay in tax year 2018 or 2019?

I received Social Security Disability Benefits during 2017 while participating in the SSA's "Ticket to Work" program. Since I was considered "gainfully employed" for part of the year (i.e., I earned over the limit for receiving benefits), I was subsequently (one year later) denied all benefits for those months. I had already paid Income Taxes on those benefits, which exceeded $3,000. If I pay those overpayments back to the SSA in tax year 2018 or 2019, how do I get made whole again by the IRS via the Claim of Right Repayment Credit for the income taxes I paid on Social Security Disability Income that I had to pay back?
