We had to repay over $10k in unemployment benefits in 2022 for payments my wife got in '20. Where do I put that on my taxes? Shouldn't we get a big break on taxes for it?

The actual amount she received was approx. $9,600 the other approx $600 were penalties.  Since we put that on our 2021 tax return and paid tax on it, I would think we would get a decent tax break this year because we repaid it in 2022.  Where do I put that we repaid unemployment on my taxes?  I would think somewhere under Deductions & Credits.

This is a claim of right repayment. You can only report it in the year you actually repaid the claim.

If your repayment is less than $3,000, you'll claim it as a Miscellaneous itemized deduction in Schedule A.

If the repayment is more than $3,000, please read this TurboTax Help topic on how to make the claim.
