I sold a property in GA, but am a non-resident. Federal return is complete, but TT transfers nothing to the GA return (no income earned). Do I make the sale my "income"?

You may not see a Georgia nonresident return if you did not tell TurboTax you earned money in Georgia.

Tap My Info in the left column. You should see Georgia in Other state income. Otherwise, Edit and add Georgia.

In the Georgia section, on the screen showing Capital Gains/Losses and Rents, Royalties, and K-1 income, TurboTax will pull numbers from your federal return and place them in the Georgia column.

Subtract out any Other State income, leaving only income from your rental and rental sale.

If you sold during the year, you will likely have some Georgia rental income or loss.

Thank you @ErnieS0 I appreciate the feedback.

One last associated question.

My paperwork shows taxes paid to GA from the realty attorney for the sale (but I don't have any W-2 info for the state). Is there a location in the state forms I would manually enter the taxes paid?

Yes, there is a place to enter your state tax paid, but it goes in the federal return. 

Here is how to enter it:

1. Select Federal, then Deductions & Credits.
2. Scroll down and find Estimates and Other Taxes Paid, expand the section. 
3. Find Income Taxes Paid, click Start to the right.
4. Scroll down and find Withholding not already entered on W-2 or 1099, click  to the right.
5. Answer the question Yes and Continue.
6. Select your state and enter state tax withheld on the second row of boxes.
    

I have this same problem in 2024 Turbotax.  I selected Georgia in my personal info section for "other state income".  When I go to Georgia state tax return, there is no "capital gains" entry in the income section, just interest, dividends, business, and  rents and royalties.  Where do I enter it for 2024 Turbotax?

Did you sell a rental property in Georgia  in 2024? When I entered the sale of a rental property on the Federal side of TurboTax, I entered the address of the property and the pertinent sales information, and the capital gains was transferred to the state return. Is it possible that you either didn't enter the address in Georgia or did not check that you sold the property in the rental section. Please respond with more information. 

Hi Isabella,

No, it was a vacation home

I entered the vacation home sale as a capital gain in schedule D.  So I thought there would be somewhere in the GA state income section for capital gains, but all I see is interest, dividends, biz and rent

I selected "second home" in the Schedule D investment sale section, and selected Georgia as the state name in the related pull down box

If the property was not a rental property, and the sale was reported as a capital gain on Schedule D in your federal return, in the Georgia interview you'll come to a screen where you can indicate how much of your Capital Gain belongs to GA and how much to another state.

This shows the total from your Federal return, so you'll need to subtract out what doesn't belong to Georgia.

Thank you, Marilyn:  That's what I expected, but in my version there is no "Capital Gains/Losses" line in that screen.  I'm not using Premier, so I'm now wondering if it's a bug in the Home and Business version of Turbotax, which I'm using.

If you reported the sale of your vacation home as Personal Income > Investment Income > Stocks, Bonds, Mutual Funds, Other, there is no place to indicate 'Georgia' on this entry, so I'm confused. 

I tested in Home & Business, and the sale is reported on a 1099-B Worksheet, and the same adjustment screen comes up for Georgia as I posted earlier.

You can delete/re-enter.

Thanks so much for your help, Marilyn:

I can't seem to paste a screenshot of the turbotax screen, so I took a photo.  Notice the "I have more info..." checkbox.  State name selection will appear.

Is there a way to delete the state return and start over?  I can only seem to edit it.

Kind regards, Rick

Yes, you can delete the state return and start over.  You will find instructions below for both the desktop version of TurboTax and TurboTax Online.
