Our 1099-G from MA is for a personal refund on state or local taxes. The choices for type of payment in Turbo Tax does not include this choice

If it’s asking why you got a 1099G you are in the wrong place.  Delete out of this one.

To enter a state refund just type  1099-G (with the dash)  in the search box at the top of your return and click on Jump To it.

Enter the 1099G under

 Federal on left

Wages & Income

 Scroll down to 1099-Misc and  Other Common Income

     You might need click on Show More to expand the section

Then it's the first line for Refunds Received for State/Local Tax Returns - Click Start

     You do not want the next line that says Other 1099G Income

On the first screen check YES - Received a State Refund.

But you might not need to enter it at all.   A State Tax Refund is taxable if you itemized deductions on that prior year's federal return and took a deduction for state income taxes instead of the sale tax.  You got a deduction benefit for it so now you have to include it as income. If you took the standard deduction it is not taxable and you don't need to report it.
