How do I enter unemployment benefits and repayment of an overpayment?

I received $1,184. in benefits in 2017 and box 12 on the 1099G shows $3,837. as the amount repaid on overpayment.  This amount includes the $1,184. which was withheld to reduce the overpayment.  The repaid amount was for years 2015 and 2016, paid in 2017.  How do I complete the Turbo Tax form?.
