Live in NC and *work address* in GA. Which state to withhold wage tax?

Hi all,

 

I'm in an odd situation and need some advice - I live in NC and got relocated to the office in GA early this year. Due to the situation I have not formally moved to GA but my company has updated my work address to GA so the wage withholding has changed from NC to GA and been so for a few months already.

 

Technically I am not a cross state worker situation (no way to commute between NC and GA daily, and I am not doing so either), neither am I a remote work/home office situation (the job is situated in GA office). How shall I deal with this situation? I feel like I shall move the withholding back to NC otherwise I will definitely incur the underpayment penalty (and looks I should do this anyway as per the situation). However, if I do so will GA DOR take my case as an underpayment issue on their end (as the job is situated in GA even I live in NC for now)?

 

Thanks a lot for your input.
