State tax filing

On your W-2 entry, enter the Georgia (GA) withholding with zero wages.  You have your proof that you did not work in that state so there is no concern if this doesn't match your W-2.

Be sure to enter all wages in the state line for North Carolina (NC) because all wages are taxed to your resident state. You should have two state lines in your W-2.

 

Georgia should be marked as a nonresident and zero income, if there is other than wages you may have to make adjustments as you go through the GA return,  You should see a full refund from GA and a possible balance due in NC or a reduced refund for the wages not taxed to your resident state.
