Q. So if i do nonresident return means i have to File for GA or is that different and just a FORM?
A. GA uses the same form (form 500), regardless of filing status (non resident, in your case).
In TurboTax (TT), when asked, in the personal section, if you made money in another state, answer yes. This is just to get TT to generate the GA software. When you start the GA return, you will clarify your filing status and that you did not actually work in GA.
Instead of e-filing, you may want to mail the GA return, so that you can attach an explanation statement. When they see GA in box 15 of your W-2, they may not be so quick to give you a refund.
