My pension plan with a previous employer required a mandatory cash out...does this need to be added? If so, where is it added? I didn't receive any forms.

If this was in 2016, then they were required by law to issue you a 1099-R by Jan 31, 2017 to report it.  You should contact the payer of the distribution for a copy of the form.  That is taxable income and must be on your tax return, but you need the 1099-R to report it.
