I began claiming Social Security benefits in June 2021. In August 2021, my benefits were reduced by 50% due to the Windfall Elimination. I will receive a German Pension in June 2022, and my Full Retirement Age (FRA) is November 2022. I am currently residing in Germany and facing difficulties contacting the US Consulate and SSA due to Covid. The SSA referred me to the IRS, which also did not respond. I am considering using the Totalization Agreement to transfer my German Retirement to Social Security. Should I request a 'Do Over' and pay back the $6,000 I've already received, then wait until I'm 70 to refile a claim?

I bought a property for vacation rental in August and it requires significant renovations, which will be completed this spring. I haven't had any rental income yet. How do I report the renovation expenses from 2020? Should I use Schedule C showing no income, or is there another method?
