Georgia State Taxes

GT_2022_ — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 05:29:39 GMT

I live in Georgia. My Social Security and Pension Payments were approved in Michigan. I have never worked in Georgia. I am Retired through SS Disability and I receive my Michigan State Pension through Disability. I have been approved for total & Permanent Disability. I am a 59yrs old Male.

My question is Turbotax has me owing the State of Georgia money. Through online research, it is my understanding that I am exempt from owing Georgia taxes because I am not yet legal retirement age. Why did Turbotax still have me owing the State of Georgia?

Thanks!

In the Georgia state tax program you need to click on the Retirement Exclusion and then indicate that you are disabled.

Thank You!

I have already E-filed my Fed and State!

Do I have to do an amended State? Or do I have to wait?

I just sent them on the 25th of July.

If the Retirement Income Exclusion amount was not entered on your 2021 Georgia state income tax return on Line 9 of the GA Form 500 then you will need to amend the state return.

Please do not amend the state return until you have either received the state tax refund or the taxes owed and paid by you have been processed by the state.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a state tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/need-amend-state-return/L3hGFyaPp_US_en_US?uid=l63n9iff
