Question in regard to entering info from Form SSA-1099 Box 3, Box 4 and Box 5

I have a question....

 

My 2022 SSA-1099 shows

Box 3 (Benefits paid in 2022) $2046

Box 4 (repaid in 2022) $2046 

Box 5 (Net for 2022) ZERO

 

I am believing I won't enter this form at all since Box 5 NET is ZERO.  Is this correct?

 

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

You are correct.  If box 5 is zero, then there is no need to enter anything in the Social Security section of your return since boxes 3 and 4 are not entered at all.
