FL resident. Flight attendant based in GA. Collected unemp. in GA. Turbotax is pulling ALL income (alimony, mil retirement, FA pay) instead of just unemployment income to be taxed. Since I live in FL, I don't pay any state income taxes on my income. I understand I will pay income tax to GA on my unemployment income but TT shouldn't be pulling ALL of my income to pay state tax to GA on! How do I fix? thx!

    Be sure you are filing a nonresident Georgia income tax return.

     

    TurboTax should ask whether you made money in Georgia but never lived there.

     

    Then you should see Georgia Part-Year and Nonresidents screens asking you to split your income between Georgia and other states. Georgia income should be $0 for all categories except unemployment.
