Forced to repay sign on bonus of $5,000. It was taxed in 2021, but repayed back in 2023. When I do this in turbo tax, it uses the form 1099-G. Is that correct?

See this IRS info

1099G has nothing to do with this situation.

No.  That form reports income to you and will increase your 2023 taxes.   You need to take a credit (Claim of Right) to lower your taxes.  Instructions are in that link, but basically you need to figure out how much your 2021 tax liability changed because of the reduced income and enter a subtraction on this year's return.
