State tax filing
Report as Georgia wages the income you earned from your job while living in Georgia. Georgia residents are taxed on income earned everywhere. If you are paying New York tax on the same income, Georgia will give you a credit for taxes paid to New York on the GA return.
Your W-2 form should have the correct GA wages. Enter that amount in the GA box and the remainder in the other state box.
For example, if you made $25,000 total – half while living in GA in W-2, Box 16, and half while living in NY – put $12,500 in Georgia and the rest in Other State.
