I sold land I owned in another state and taxes were deducted in that state. I live in Georgia do I have to report the sale and pay taxes when I file my Georgia return?

you'll need to file a non-resident return in that other state taking credit for the taxes withheld. in Georgia, as a resident,  income from the sale will be taxable, but by filing that other state return you'll be able to claim a tax credit on the Georgia return for the taxes paid to the other state.  in Turbotax you'll need to do the nonresident state first.

As a resident of Georgia, you must report and pay tax on all your world-wide income.

 

Furthermore, you must file in the other state, because any withholding was only an estimate and the actual tax is determined on a tax return.

 

You will file a non-resident return in state B, reporting only your in-state income from that state.  Then you will file a resident return for Georgia reporting all your world-wide income.  You will be able to claim a credit for taxes you paid in state B on the same income.
