I'm a resident of California. Do I need to file Georgia state tax if I received a small income (< $5k) from my rental property in 2018?

Hi,

I'm a resident of California. I purchased a rental property in Atlanta in 2018 and I received a small amount of rent (< $5k). In this case, am I required to file Georgia state taxes as a non-resident? Please let me know what is the criteria/requirement to determine if it is mandatory to file Georgia state tax.

Yes, you will need to report and file a George state nonresident income tax return. The income will get reported on your federal return and will be taxable in the state of Georgia (you may not owe tax).
