State tax filing
Why didn't your accountant prepare your state return(s)? That seems unusual.
If you live in Georgia but work in another state, your accountant should have filed both a non-resident tax return for the other state (assuming the other state has an income tax), and a resident tax return for Georgia.
In that situation, you'd be able to claim a credit on your GA return for the taxes paid to the other state.
In order to do this with TurboTax, you'd have to first fill out both your federal and the other state's return in TT, and then complete the GA state return. This would allow the program to correctly calculate and apply the "other state" credit.
If the state you work in has no income tax (such as Florida), as a GA resident you still have to file a GA tax return.
Perhaps your accountant will do this for you, since he's already done the federal return.
