TurboTax's mailing instructions for Georgia Form 500 are incorrect. They say I must "Include copies of all income statements (W-2, 1099, etc.) to your return." This is not entirely true. The actual Georgia instructions from Georgia IT-511 (instruction for individual income tax returns) say I must include "withholding statements (W-2s,1099s, G2-RPs, etc.) where taxes were withheld". TurboTax needs to add those four critical words to its File by Mail Instructions for Georgia in the "What You Need to Mail" section. I was given only one recipient copy of my 1099-NEC to keep for my records; no Georgia tax was withheld. I've wasted half a day arguing with my employer's accountant that I need another copy to file with my Georgia state return because TurboTax's instructions say I must include it. She finally sent me the state's instructions saying I only need to include it if taxes were withheld, which they were not. TurboTax is wrong and this has created much confusion and waste of everyone's time. Please fix it ASAP. Someone please flag this for the moderator so this error can be reported and fixed. Thank you.
