If you repaid in 2019 unemployment benefits received in 2019, you will only need to report this repayment on your 2019 tax return (next year). You do not claim it on your 2018 tax return

unemployment was received in 2018, repayment occurred in 2019 for the 2018 over payment

You report the amount actually received on your 2018 tax return. And next year, you will claim the repayment of the over-payment.
