Hello, and thank you for contacting TurboTax.
As a remote worker, you should keep good records of any employee expenses you seek to claim as a deduction. While people who are self-employed or independent contractors are not considered employees, they are eligible for many of the same deductions and subject to the same record-keeping requirements. See the article below.

Also, since you are currently in NYC, you should be aware of New York residency requirements and for those of part-year residents and non-residents as well. As a resident, you pay state tax (and city tax if a New York City or Yonkers resident) on all your income no matter where it is earned. As a nonresident, you only pay tax on New York source income, which includes earnings from work performed in New York State, and income from real property located in the state. If you are a nonresident, you are not liable for New York City personal income tax, but may be subject to Yonkers nonresident earning tax if your income is sourced to the city of Yonkers.

Regarding the state of Georgia, The Georgia DOR posted to its FAQ’s that “if the employee is temporarily working in Georgia, wages earned during this time period would not be
considered Georgia income and therefore the employer is not required to withhold Georgia income tax. As a Georgia resident, your remote work would be subject to Georgia state income tax.
