Taxes When working in another state

WE may be moving to Georgia and living in South Carolina

One of these should say working, right?

Is it with the military?

No not military. That would be easy. Florida. I was a resident of Florida while I was in the military

I know people who live in TN but work in Kentucky at Fort Campbell as civilians but do NOT pay KY income taxes. Where I was going with that question, probably should have worded it differently.

I am also going to bow out cause I have no idea outside of what I listed above. Also, no clue on places to live.

First of all, I would make sure to talk to the Department of Revenue equivalents for both states.

That being said, most if not all states receive taxes based on where it was earned. If you are working in Georgia, the company is withholding income from you and sending it, using withholding taxes, to Georgia's DoR.

When tax time comes, you should file a Georgia non-resident tax form, which will guide you on how to file, what to claim ect. After that, you should file your SC state tax form, and it should have some sort of way to claim taxes paid in another state. If SC has a higher tax rate, you may have to pay the difference, but yet again it depends on the state.

Thanks. Im trying to find out if the two states have a tax agreement but am having problems finding trustworthy info. Ill call the local state office I guess.

But i remember when I lived in the midwest, Illinois for example had an agreement with nearly all the surrounding states. I think Minnesota had some sort of deal with Whisky and Iowa. I may be wrong on the latter but I remember someone telling me that, but Im sure of the Illinois situation.

From what Ive read, a large amount of workers who work on Augusta live either in the western subs or in South Carolina because outside of some very very high priced areas, Augusta isnt exactly a great city, much like BR.
But Ive been to Georgia many times and like almost every other state Ive lived in or stayed for a long period of time, Louisiana falls short in so many ways.

I remember in Minnesota, the roads, schools, cleanliness, education level of population, job opportunities, etc.., were lightyears ahead of my good ole home state of Louisiana.

I love it here but with so few large companies headquartered here, there just isnt enough tax revenue to build infrastructure, schools, etc.. compared to other states,

Georgia and Minnesota are similar in that regard. Both have large corporations located in the state. Minnesota was crazy. They had a lot there.

But with the offer she received, i just dont know how we pass it up. We could sell our house, pay off every penny of debt, and will almost double our income just with her salary. Once I find something, we will be making a lot more. Hell I can take a position making 50 or less to start while I look for something close to what I make now and we can be making a decent living. North of 140 household income. I know not Money Board baller status, but a large jump from where we are now. And my wife hasn't be able to find anything in her field here in almost 3 years. All the offers she has received have been from companies in states where we dont want to live. This is the first in a state we would move to and who knows when the next one in a desirable state will come.

I live in Evans,Ga.

It is basically a suburb of Augusta. Some people really like it here, some don't.

Schools are good. Evans is kind of "Generica" basically Chili's, Applebee's, etc.

Thanks

Is the procedure markedly different if the taxing non resident state doesn't have an income tax?

You wouldn't have anything to show residing state to "credit" so I'm curious.

Looks like the Georgia income tax is a percentage point lower than SC. I wonder how the difference is calculated

That's what I figured. I hate when my intuition is right when it doesn't benefit me. Thanks
