Georgia does say to file a non-resident return if one person is a full-year resident and the other is a part-year return. GA says, “If one spouse is a resident and one is a part-year resident or nonresident, enter 3 [nonresident] in the residency status box and complete Form 500, Schedule 3 to calculate Georgia taxable income.”
A non-resident return will allow you to exclude non-Georgia income so you will not need to claim a credit for tax paid to another state. There should not be any double-taxed income. You will only pay GA tax on income earned while a resident of GA. The other state income will not be reported on the GA Form-500.
