Filling out Georgia....does this mean Social Security or Railroad Retirement? It says contradictory things.

Are you referring to this question, "Confirm or enter the amount of the Social Security/Railroad Retirement benefits that is not subject to Georgia income tax but was included in income on your federal return. Enter a zero if not applicable."?

What is contradictory?

If you received either SS or RR retirement benefits and if some of them were taxable on the federal return, enter that taxable amount here (it's probably already filled in).

Essentially, SS benefits and RR benefits are treated the same way.

Or do you mean something else?

Thank you for your response. That's what we assumed, however, on Georgia's State under "Here's the income that Georgia handles differently" is says just "Railroad Retirement Benefits". When we clicked on the Learn More hyperlink for further explanation we saw Social Security/Railroad Retirement. We were a bit confused since that's not what the other stated. However, we decided it must be an oversight on the labeling.

Your response confirmed our thoughts. Thank you!
