I received a document (1099-G) from Massachusetts for the amount of $208.00. Do I need to put this amount in some place on this year's return and how do I do this?

The 1099-G is either the state tax refund you got back for 2015 taxes, or unemployment income you received. If it is the unemployment income, yes it needs to be reported in the program. 

If is a state refund, it only needs to be reported if you itemized your deductions on 2015 which caused the refund. You will be able to enter it here:
