State tax filing

You should definitely have taxes taken out for Georgia, the state in which you will work.  Georgia can tax all the income you earn by working in Georgia.  Your resident state of South Carolina can tax all your income, including your earnings from Georgia, but South Carolina will give you a credit on its tax return for the tax you pay to Georgia.  The credit will reduce (and in some cases eliminate, depending on your tax bracket) your SC tax bill.

 

At year's end you will file both a non-resident GA tax return and a return for your home state of SC.  In TurboTax, complete the non-resident state return first, before the home state return.  The program will then calculate and apply the credit.
