State Taxes

[Aimer714]

Hi! 

My wife works from home for a non-profit organization based out of Washington (no state taxes), but she lived in Tennessee (no state taxes) for four months and then moved to Georgia (state taxes) for the rest of the year Her company did not take out any state taxes for her. In this situation, do we have to fill out an additional form, calculate the taxes owed based on how much she made while in Georgia, or something else? Her company also stated that she should get a credit from Washington, but we have no idea what that means. 

Thanks!

If you are filing a part year GA return, calculate the portion of the salary earned while a GA resident.

A full year resident files taxes on income for the full year.

If WA or TN had state taxes, GA would give you a credit for double taxed income. However, neither WA nor TN have state tax so there is no credit available.
