Question

Florida Resident but got Georgia taxes taken out on my W2

I retired in 2018 and moved my main residence to Florida which is a tax free state.  This year my W2 from my previous employer which is in Georgia still withheld Georgia state income tax.  I did not earn any wages by working in Georgia, but the taxes were a result of some previous stock awards maturing.

 

What is the process for reclaiming these tax dollars from Georgia since I have not filed a Georgia state income tax return?

    You will have to file a Georgia non-resident tax return in order to get a refund of the tax that was withheld.  There is no other way to get the money back.

      Thanks David, 

      Is the Non - Resident tax return the Georgia State Return or is there another form?

      Georgia is considered your non-resident state.
