If I live in Atlanta, Georgia but work overseas, do I still have to pay state taxes?
I am about to move to Georgia but the company that I work for is based out of St. Petersburg, Florida and the work is done overseas. Do I have to pay state taxes in Georgia or Florida? Is it based on my residence or where I work?

Since you will be setting up a residence in GA, you are a GA resident and must pay GA state income taxes on your world-wide income. FL has no state income tax, so if setting up residence in FL is an option that would make more sense from an income tax perspective. There may be other reasons that GA is a better option such as lower sales and property taxes or non-tax reasons known only to you.

your tax home is where you work, however if you have a Georgia address, have a license there, do banking there, Ga will determine you are a citizen and will want you to report your income to them
