Full disclosure: I will ask my tax accountant and financial advisor but wanted to get a sense from our tax specialist Nole fans.
I live in Tallahassee but work in Southern Georgia typically 5 days a week. I'm assigned to our corporate office and, outside of the occasional travel, work largely in Georgia. Thus I have to pay Georgia state income tax (5.75%). Since March 2020, I have worked about 95% of the time out of my home office in Tallahassee with occasional trip up to corporate. I'm typically able to deduct Georgia state income tax when I file but I see maybe about 20-25% of what I paid in GA taxes. Considering, most of my work was performed in Florida this year, is there anything I can do reduce my State of Georgia tax liability and get a larger return back from Georgia? It looks like this will continue through the 1st half of next year so I'll have the same issue next year as we continue to investigate new ways of remote working. My company has struggled to even address this and I wanted to see how I can handle it on my own.
Appreciate any advice.
