I have an address in 2 different states, should I be adding in Sales tax Deduction and Credits if my permanent address is only one of them?

I am in a residency program in Georgia, so I am required to have an address in Georgia in order to get paid. I have a permanent address in Florida. Do I need to enter sales tax from both places?

You would complete the sales tax section for the location where you lived. If you lived in more than one state, you would do separate entries and enter the dates you lived in each state.

I have a permanent address in one state and an address where I work in another. I live at each almost equal time, usually for 1-2 weeks at a time. My Drivers license and all legal paperwork say I live in one state, but my job views my address as the other. Does this make it more complex or make it clearer?

Ok, so I suggest you add up the number of days you spend in each state. Then, for the first state entry in TurboTax, enter as the start date January 1, 2023 and add the number of days you spent in that state to January 1 and enter that date for the end date. For the second state entry, enter the day after what you entered for the end date for the first state entry and then December 31, 2023. For instance, if you lived in Florida for 210 days, enter January 1 to July 31. Then for Georgia you would enter August 1 to December 31.  You simply enter the dates to calculate what the applicable state tax is, they don't appear on the tax return. You get credit for the state tax based on the number of days you are staying in the state, as that is where you are paying most of your sales tax.
