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?.

To enter your repayment:
  1. If you repaid unemployment benefits in 2017, select "Yes" to "Did you pay back any of your 2016 unemployment benefits?" on the "Did you pay back any of your 2017 unemployment benefits?" screen then press "Continue" and enter the amount of benefits repaid
  2. Advance through the remaining screens by pressing "Continue" until you reach the "Other Common Unemployment Benefits" screen
  3. On the "Other Uncommon Unemployment Benefits" screen, select “Yes” to enter your 2016 and earlier benefits repaid on the following screens as needed
  4. Press the “Continue” button after you enter your information on each screen until you finish recording your unemployment benefit repayments
