State tax filing
No. as A GA resident, GA taxes you according to ALL your income for the year...even income earned in non-income-tax states (like TN). GA does this, as well as all the other states in the USA that have income taxes on their residents. To avoid double taxation, after calculating their tax, GA would allow you to subtract any taxes you paid to the state you worked in...but TN doesn't have a tax....thus it is all GA-taxed.
Luckily, apparently your employer is registered with GA to withhold GA taxes...the line with boxes 15,16,17 on your W-2 (unless you were talking about Federal taxes withheld)...so you'll get credit for those GA taxes withheld....and, depending on your TOTAL income situation, you might get some of it back....or you could even owe more to GA...that's determined by filling in and filing the Fed&GA tax returns.
________________
However....IF your employer couldn't withhold GA taxes from your pay (bioxes 15,16,17 on the W-2), then you could end up owing a huge amount to GA at tax time...and have a penalty assessed to-boot.
