Can i get refunded for State Income Tax?

I live in Tennessee which has no State Income Tax. I have been paying Georgia State Tax since 2006 when I started working for a Georgia based company. I lived and worked from home during this time in Tennessee. Can I get refunded for this?

Yes, but you will have to file a Georgia State Tax return.

I am going to take it that the actual work was conducted as business inand for Georgia. Was your paycheck issued to you in Gerogia or Tennessee?

You will have to file an amended return for each year. However, Georgia has rules for nonresidents:

>>>. What are the filing requirements for a nonresident who works in Georgia and/or has other Georgia source income?

1. Nonresidents, who work in Georgia or receive income from Georgia sources and are required to file a Federal income tax return, are required to file a Georgia income tax return. Some examples of Georgia source income are wages, Georgia lottery winnings, income from flow through entities (s-corporations, partnerships, LLC’s, trusts, and estates), rents, etc. If you are a legal resident of another state, you are not required to file a Georgia income tax return if your only activity for financial gain or profit in Georgia consists of performing services in Georgia for an employer as an employee when the compensation for services performed does not exceed the lesser of five percent of the income received in all places during the taxable year or $5,000.<<<

It seems that the fact that your employer is a Georgia source of income is enough.
