Certificate for income tax adjustment

Angela1111
Level 2

I have a client with a certificate for income tax adjustment from the Department of Defense.  The adjustment is for $4400. The certificate states: You may be able deduct the amount repaid as a miscellaneous deduction or use the amount repaid to compute a credit against your tax liability (26 USC Sec 1341).

My client does not itemize. Any help with the second option is greatly appreciated!
