Casinos only withhold taxes. You still have an obligation to file an Alabama non-resident tax return. The withholding will be a credit against your tax, and you will either have a refund or owe a small additional amount of tax.

Your winnings must also be included in your Georgia taxable income. Georgia should provide a credit for the taxes paid to Alabama.

So when preparing my taxes on turbo I added the gambling winnings so when at end it figures my Georgia state tax do I chose Alabama state tax too.

Yes. Prepare the Alabama return before Georgia, so your Georgia return can pick up the amount of tax paid to Alabama.
