I work in South Carolina and live in Georgia. How do I offset the income to Ga?

Based on your question, I am assuming that you are filing a resident return for Georgia and a non-resident return for South Carolina.  If your situation is part-year resident of each state, this answer will not apply. 

The Other State Tax Credit is designed to help eliminate some of the double-tax burden for the case where you live in one state and work in another.  You would include the Other State Tax Credit on your resident state tax return only so that you receive credit for paying taxes on the income earned in the other state.

When you complete your state tax returns in TurboTax, the program will calculate the Other State Tax Credit for you.  You should complete your non-resident state (South Carolina) return first and then your resident state return (Georgia).  Doing the states in this order will allow TurboTax to determine your tax credit.
