No, it will not mess things up. Once the nonresident AL tax return is completed you should have a credit for taxes paid to another state on your resident GA return. The income taxed to AL and the tax liability in AL will be needed on your GA return. So if you already filed GA you may want to amend. If you haven't filed GA yet, use the information below to enter your credit before filing.
The credit for taxes paid to another state on the same income is used on your resident state because they do not want you to pay taxes twice on the same income. As the resident state all worldwide income must be included.
The credit for tax paid to another state on the same income will be the lesser of:
- the tax liability actually charged by the nonresident state, OR
- the tax liability that would have been charged by your resident state
