You are required to file and will pay tax to Georgia (GA). The filing requirements for Georgia for nonresidents is as follows, the key being the wages earned from Georgia sources (and the percentage of the wages from GA sources) :
Non-Residents: Non-residents who work in Georgia or receive income from Georgia sources and are required to file a Federal income tax return are required to file a Georgia Form 500 Individual Income Tax Return.
Some examples of Georgia source income are:
- Wages
- Georgia Lottery Winnings
- Income from flow through entities (S-Corporations, Partnerships, LLCs, Trust, and estates
- Rents
If you are a legal resident of another state, you are not required to file a Georgia income tax return if:
- Your only activity for financial gain or profit in Georgia consists of performing services in Georgia for an employer as an employee
- The compensation for services performed does not exceed the lesser of five percent of the wages in all places or $5,000.00
A full explanation of how to compute the tax for non-residents is provided in the instruction booklet.
If Florida (FL) had income tax you could receive a credit for taxes paid to another nonresident state, however FL has no personal income tax. Even if you did stop the withholding, which the employer may not have authority to do, you will still have tax due in GA if this is your only employer or the employer where the greater salary is earned.
