Let me apologize for the confusion.
Your W-2 is reporting Georgia income and state withholdings as if you did actually work in Georgia. If you had worked in Georgia for even part of the year, then the income would be reported from a Georgia source on your return and there would likely be some Georgia tax liability.
As you go through your state returns, complete the Georgia return first. As a non-resident, you will be asked to allocate all of your income items between Georgia and the other state. Your W-2 income will be allocated completely to Georgia when you first go through the allocation because of the way your W-2 was reported. Enter the W-2 wages shown for Georgia in the Other State column. This will indicate that you did not work in Georgia and you should not have a tax liability to Georgia.
Be sure that any other income you have entered on your return is also allocated to the Other State as you go through the Georgia allocations.
Finally, be sure that the situation is corrected with your employer for 2021 if you continue to live and work in North Carolina.
