1. OK , now it makes sense -- why your exempt period ended in 12/31/2023. And why you would have passed SPT in 2024.
2. Note that under the SPT based residency, your start date is the first day you were present in the USA for the tax year under consideration. Thus you were a RESIDENT for Tax purposes for all of 2024. You can also use Standard Deduction because you were present for the whole calendar year. And YES TurboTax will work for you.
3. For Georgia residency, you need to be present in the state for 183 days in a 12 month period. Since you were out of the state from 5/20/24 through 12/20/2024, you probably will not meet the "resident" requirement. Thus you are taxed by Georgia on in-state sourced income ( implying your Texas income is probably not taxable in Georgia ). I do not know if Georgia also has a "closer connection" in lieu of 183 days requirement. My suggestion would be call Georgia DOR and get their take on this -- this is because you were ONLY temporarily outside the state ( you were closely connected to the state -- school, driver's license etc. ).
Does this answer your query?
Is there more I can do for you ?
