1. You are correct, that you need to manually add back non-Georgia interest to Georgia income.
2. Interest from Direct Federal Obligations (such as Treasury Bonds & Notes) and other interest that is specifically exempt by Federal statute are not taxed by Georgia (including dividends received from mutual funds that derive income from these sources).
Here's more info from Georgia Dept. of Revenue.
