asked

I was let go from a large company in April 2013 and received 24 weeks of severance, paid biweekly through the end of September. In May, I obtained a job with a similar but separate company affiliated with my previous company. On the day of my last severance payment, the payment was reversed, and I was informed that I was not entitled to severance because I worked at a company which 'indirectly or directly provides services' to my former company. I am repaying $13,300 in seven installments - $1300 now, and $2000/month beginning in January. I've been told this means I will receive a W-2 indicating that $12000 as income for 2013; will I receive something in 2014 to show that I have paid this money back? How can I make sure I am not taxed twice on this money (or taxed at all, actually, since I will end up returning it all to my previous company)?
