State tax filing

You can file joint or separate- but if you file joint, you will get to use her exemption which will benefit you.

A married part-year resident or nonresident with income earned in Georgia whose spouse is a
nonresident with no Georgia source income may file either a separate return claiming only their own personal exemption and dependent exemptions and deductions or a joint return claiming total allowable deductions.
