Since you repaid the taxable amounts in 2015, the amounts repaid are entered as an itemized deduction on Schedule A or as a tax credit on Form 1040 Line 73d as a Claim of Right IRC 1341, depending on the amount repaid.
To report the repayment of taxable income as an itemized deduction on Schedule A -
On the next screen, click on No (Generation Skipping Taxes)
(If the repayment was $3,000 or less) On the next screen, click on Yes (Less Common Expenses) and enter a description and the amount repaid on the following screen. Continue with this section until it completes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(If the repayment was greater then $3,000) On the next screen, click on No (Less Common Expenses)
On the next screen, click on Yes (Any Other Deductions)
On the next screen, enter the amount repaid in the box for Claim of Right repayment. Continue with this section until it completes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If your repayment is greater then $3,000, instead of entering the amount repaid as an itemized deduction on Schedule A, you can enter a Claim of Right tax credit on Form 1040 Line 73d, You will need to determine which method of reporting the repayment gives you the greater benefit.
This tax credit can only be entered directly on Form 1040, so you have to use the 2015 desktop editions as the online editions do not have the capability to enter tax data directly on a form, schedule or worksheet. Using the desktop editions in Forms mode to access Form 1040 Line 73d and enter the tax credit in the Other Credits and Payments Smart Worksheet line D.
To figure the Claim of Right tax credit, use Method 2 in IRS Publication 525 Taxable and Nontaxable Income. page 34 - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p525.pdf
I have a similar question, but with an additional question.
I was disabled in 2018 and began receiving long term disability later that year via a Disability policy I was paying for from an insurance company. and these payments will continue for the next few years. I was approved for SSDI last year and received a lump sum with monthly payments to continue. I had to pay 100% of the lump sum to the insurance company, and my continuing monthly payments, which are tax free, are now reduced by the amount of the SSDI payments going forward. How do I handle the lump sum payment as well as the future payments? I'm not happy about replacing non-taxable payments (insurance proceeds) with possibly taxable payments (SSDI), but I had no choice.
I've researched this scenario, but found nothing other than this question. Thank you!
