I paid $2278 in taxes to GA as a nonresident, but the page says $2278 in tax credits, but the alabama calculation only shows $1989 as the actual credit. Is this right?

Its certianly possible, for one of either two reasons.

1) AL only allows a credit for what GA kept of the taxes you paid to GA, so if you are getting any refund from GA, the credit is reduced by that amount.

2) The AL credit is only "up-to" what AL would-have taxed on that GA income. So if AL had a lower tax rate, then the credit is only for that lower amount.
