State tax filing
File the Part-Year Resident state return for GA first.
Since you worked in Georgia, all the wages earned in Georgia will be taxed on your GA return.
Next file your Part-Year Resident return for North Carolina.
North Carolina will want to tax the income you earned while you were a resident (so allocate the income you earned from the date you moved to NC)
You don't get "double Taxed" on that income because uou will get a credit on your NC tax return for the GA tax you paid on the "shared income" (the income earned in GA while living in NC.
Going forward, if you continue to work in GA and live in NC, always do the GA return first, then NC so the program can calculate the tax credit for the resident state return. If you work in GA, but don't live in GA for any of the Tax Year, you will file a Non-Resident return for GA.
