State tax filing
There is probably nothing to fix.
Did you see the list that Annette gave above from the instructions? Do any of those apply to you?
Another possibility is what I mentioned above:
My guess is that you have your Georgia state income tax reported on your federal Schedule A, so this amount is added back to income in Georgia because it is not deductible in Georgia. This assumes that you have itemized on your federal return.
Note that Schedule A reports the amount of Georgia tax you have already paid (generally your withholding in 2019), not the tax you are assessed when you do your return.
Anyway, take a quick look at Schedule A on the federal return and see if your state tax is reported - and then compare it to that Adjustment to Income on Schedule 1 on your Georgia return.
So, do you have a Schedule A on your federal return? If so, Georgia does not allow the same deduction for some particular item on the Schedule A.
