Self employed taxes

Hello, first time this year I m doing self employed taxes and confused a lot, I made 2738 $ remotely from a website as a freelancer and it is the only money I made for the year, when I start file TurboTax self employment, it shows me around 200$ I owe federal, but when I do my GA state taxes it shows 0 $ is that possible or I m making a mistake?

Also website company that paid me located in California, do I have to file CA state taxes too?

Self employed taxes

The amount that you owe on the federal return is for self-employment tax. This covers the FICA tax for Social Security and Medicare.

 

No, you did not make a mistake on your Georgia tax return. Georgia has a standard deduction that reduces your taxable income to $0. There is a requirement to file a tax return with Georgia as long as you are required to file a Federal income tax return. Please see this for Georgia filing requirements.

 

And, you do not need to file a tax return with California
