Yes, and it depends what state you lived in previously whether you'll need to file a part-year return or not.
Since you were a resident of your previous state for those first 17 days of 2025, you technically do need to account for any income earned during that window on a part-year resident return for that state. Most states require you to allocate income based on exactly where you were physically living when you earned it, so you'd report those days of wages or other income to your old home and the remaining days to Georgia.
Even though 17 days is not a long time, if you crossed the prior state's filing threshold during that time, they'll want their share of taxes, though, if your earnings for those 17 days were minimal, you might not actually owe any additional tax once your personal exemptions are factored in. Check your prior state's minimum filing threshold to be sure.
