Based on your question, I am assuming that you are filing a resident
return for Georgia and a non-resident return for South Carolina. If your situation is part-year resident of
each state, this answer will not apply.
The Other State Tax
Credit is designed to help eliminate some of the double-tax burden for the
case where you live in one state and work in another. You would include the Other State Tax Credit on your
resident state tax return only so that you receive credit for paying
taxes on the income earned in the other state.
When you complete your state tax returns in TurboTax, the
program will calculate the Other State
Tax Credit for you. You should
complete your non-resident state (South Carolina) return first and then your
resident state return (Georgia). Doing
the states in this order will allow TurboTax to determine your tax credit.
