I fully repaid an IRA withdrawal within 60 days (taken in April 2020, returned May 2020 - can I get the tax my brokerage took out back on 2019 filing or do I need to wait until 2020 (i don't have a 1099-R yet)

If you took out $1000 and they withheld $100 then you MUST put back the full $1000  now   and wait for the refund of the $100 when you file the 2020 return.  If you do not make up the taxes withheld and  only roll  $900 then only that amount will be considered rolled timely and you will pay taxes on the $100 you did not roll.

Thanks Critter-3, i did pay the full amount, including covering what they withheld.  So i have to wait until filing 2020 to get it back?

Yep that is your only option.
