I'm trying to figure out why I owe state income tax in Georgia, I am low income. I usually receive money back. I know very little about taxes, thank you for helping.

No one can see your tax return. The usual reason for owing state tax is that not enough state tax was withheld from your paychecks during the year. Check all the amounts you entered especially from boxes 16 and 17 of any W-2's and look for typos, misplaced decimals or extra zeros. Or print the state return from last year and compare it side by side line by line with your 2024 state return to see what is different.
