I received state refund in 2016, but cannot enter 2016 when entering from the 1099 G/INT

On the screen where you enter your state income tax refund, the "Tax Year of Refund" is the year the refund was FOR, not the year that you received it. If you received the refund in 2016, it was probably for your 2015 state tax return, so you would select 2015.
