Yes, your GA W-2
income will be included on your SC tax return because you are a SC resident.
You will file a SC
resident tax return and a GA
non-resident tax return.
The SC return will tax all income, both from GA and from
SC. However, there will be a tax credit
allowed for taxes paid to another state (GA) on the SC return.
The GA return will tax only the income that was earned in
GA. Any SC income will not be included
on the GA return.
To be sure that the states will handle the income
allocations properly, please double check your information in the Personal Info section of your return
for both you (and your spouse if applicable).
Be sure that you are listed as resident
of SC. Also be sure that the Personal Info > Other State Info
section shows that income was earned in
GA.
Then, when you are finished with all the entries for your
Federal return and start working on the state returns, choose your non-resident (GA) state return to complete first. This will allow the resident (SC) return to
get the information it needs for the tax credit for taxes paid to another
state.
