New York handles multi-state income a bit differently from other states. Instead of allocating income, it allocates the tax.
The return will report all income earned in all states to calculate the tax and then pro-rate the tax to account for the percentage of income that is New York source or resident income.
If your son's permanent home is not Georgia or New York, that state may also tax the income as his resident state. While Georgia tends to follow the rule that someone is a tax resident after 183 days in the state, there is an exception for students who maintain their residency in another state (as evidenced by things like voter registration and driver's license issue state.)
When preparing the return, the resident state should be prepared first in TurboTax, and then the other state(s). This will allow TurboTax to calculate any credits for taxes paid to other states on the resident state return.
