This is more a question of why the turbotax program is behaving the way it is as well as trying to find the answer as to what is taxable. I live in GA, 60 years old. Last year I received $2996 in SS survivor benefits (spousal). I enter this in the federal side, everything is fine there. When I get to the state side, it says "Confirm or enter the amount of SS/railroad retirement benefits that is NOT subject to Georgia income tax but was included on your federal return. The amount carried over is $519. Where did turbotax get $519 from? Should it not be $2996? Confused.
