Struggling with Lump Sum Social Security Payment

I received a lump sum payment disability from social security in January 2025 -- almost entirely for 2024 and 2023. I understand that I may claim them payment entirely for 2025 or spread it across 2024 and 2023 in applicable parts. Please note, that I carried private LTD coverage and only filed with the SSA pursuant to policy requirements; I had to repay the entire amount to my insurer. I am struggling to understand TurboTax's question's relating taxability in 2024. TurboTax asks the Taxable Social Security benefits in 2024. Is that simply the entirety of the amount paid for 2024 as reflected on the SSA-1099? Thanks for any assistance.
