How to fix line 5 description on georgia tax forms?

[DavidD66]

Line 5 of Georgia Form 500 - Individual Income Tax Return is your filing status.  This transfers from your federal tax return.  In Georgia, you have to use the same filing status that you used on your federal tax return, with one exception.  If one spouse is a resident and the other is a nonresident without any Georgia-source income, your Georgia return may be filed jointly or separately.  How you answer the interview questions in the "About me" section and in the Georgia State Taxes section will determine whether you are given the choice to change filing status from what is on federal return.
