    Georgia Taxes - Itemized vs Standard Deduction
    Hello ATE

    I have a specific question related to Form 500, Schedule 3, Line 10 for Georgia Taxes.
    I am non-resident and had to use Itemized Deductions for IRS Form 1040NR just claiming GA withheld taxes.

    Could you please help me with next questions?

    1) Must I use Itemized Deduction for Form 500, Schedule 3, Line 10 as I already use Itemized Deduction for 1040NR?

    1.1) If "Yes", Should I enter 0 for that Line, as GA Taxes was my only Itemized Deduction in 1040NR? Or, Should I enter again the GA Taxes as I did for the 1040NR?

    1.2) If "No", Am I still entitled to claim for the Standard Deduction ($2,300) if I prefer it rather than Itemized Deductions?

    Thanks, I really appreciate your help and kindness.

    1) Yes, this year GA requires non-resident aliens to claim itemized deductions if that is how they filed on their federal return.

    2) Enter the GA taxes withheld as the itemized deduction.
