State tax filing

Q. Can I file as a Georgia resident?

A. Simple answer: No.

 

Out of state college students are still residents of the state they came from, particularly (but no only) if still dependents of their parent(s). You would have to do something more specific than just go to school, in Georgia, to become a resident.  Even working in GA would not make you a resident, but would make you subject to GA income tax. 

 

So, as others have said, it depends on more details of your situation and why you want to be considered a GA resident.
