On F1/OPT you are exempt from residency for 5-years. You must file non-resident tax return Form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ and Form 8843.

You are part-year residents for both Georgia and NY state. If you are living in NY city, you ae NOT a NYC resident for tax purposes due to your status as a student.

File GA Form 500 and NY Form IT-203 for the respective state returns.
