You will need to determine if you were a resident of Ohio temporarily absent for those six months, or if instead you were a resident of Georgia for those six months, as it affects how you file your taxes.You will pay income tax to Georgia on the income you earned while in Georgia, either as a part-year resident or as a nonresident, according to Georgiau2019s tax law.If you determine that you were not a resident of Ohio for the time that you were in Georgia, you will not be taxed in Ohio on the income you earned while you resided in Georgia, and will exclude that income from your Ohio tax return. See Lines 26 through 28 of the Ohio Schedule of Credits for form IT 1040.If you determine that you were temporarily absent from Ohio but remained an Ohio resident, you will pay income tax to Ohio on your entire income including the income you earned in Georgia, but you can take a credit against your Ohio tax for the tax paid to Georgia. See Lines 29 through 32 of the Schedule of Credits for form IT 1040.You may want to consult with a tax preparer as determining which of these two options applies to you may be difficult. In most cases, which of the two cases that applies is a determination based on your specific circumstances, rather than an election (that is, you canu2019t choose which applies to you).
