State tax filing

Normally a non-resident return will not give credit paid to other states. Let me explain the flow.

  1. if you work in South Carolina but live in Georgia, you will file a South Carolina non-resident return first and then,a Georgia resident return. 
  2. When you file your Georgia return, you will be given credit for the taxes you paid to South Carolina. It does not work the opposite.  
  3. the key is to file your South Carolina non-resident return first.
