Job positioned in GA while working remotely in NC

Hi,

 

My job is positioned in GA (eg in the HR system, and withholding went to GA - I was supposed to relocate but haven’t due to the situation) but I live in NC. How shall I basically do the filing? I read I may file non-resident for GA and claim 0 earnings for a full refund from GA and do NC filing as usual but not sure if it’s right since the job is not targeted as a remote position if the pandemic were not there.

 

Also is the deluxe version enough for this case?

 

Thanks a lot in advance.

But that is exactly what you need to do ... in the TT program you will indicate NC is your resident state and that you earned income in GA  and when you get to the state tab you MUST complete the GA return first.

Thank you @Critter-3 . Will I have to prove to Georgia DOR that I had to work remotely in another state so I should ask for a full refund (get all taxes withheld there) from GA?
