1099G - Not sure what to do with this

I received a 1099G from Georgia dept. of Rev. I am unsure what to do with it. It states the following:

You are receiving this 1099-G because you itemized your deductions and received a refund, credit, or offset on you GA income tax return in 2016. You may need to include the amount shown in Box 2 below as income on your current year's income tax return filed with the IRS.
