Frequently asked questions
Do I pay Georgia income tax if I live in Florida?
Yes. Georgia taxes wages earned there by nonresidents. On $100,000 that's about $4,242.
Do I have to file taxes in both Florida and Georgia?
Usually you file only one state return (a nonresident return in Georgia), though some states still require a nonresident return to get a refund of any wrongly withheld tax.
Will I be taxed twice?
No. Florida has no income tax, so you pay only Georgia's nonresident tax: about $4,242 on $100,000.
