How do I enter the dates for part year residency if I began the year in GA, then moved to NC and was then relocated back to GA before the end of the year?

There's no way to enter two separate periods of part-year residency in TurboTax because there's no way to show it on the Georgia tax return form. TurboTax can't provide a way to handle a situation that the state forms don't provide for.

I suggest that you call the Georgia Department of Revenue (877-423-6711) and ask them what you should do. Post a reply in this thread to let us know what they say.

Thanks! I called Georgia and told me that their form doesn’t require dates for part year residents and they were not sure why TurboTax was asking for it. I printed the Schedule 3 form for part year and it does not ask for dates. They told me to call TurboTax to ask why the dates are requested.

Schedule 3 does not require the dates, but the main tax form, Form 500, does require the dates. The dates are on line 4 of Form 500, just below your name and address. For a part-year resident the instructions for Form 500 line 4 say "Note: List the dates you lived in Georgia." TurboTax asks for the dates because Form 500 requires the dates. But there is only room for one pair of beginning and ending dates.

I suggest that you call again, and if you get someone equally ignorant, tell them to look at Form 500 line 4.
