Can I file under one state (my state of residence) or do I need to file each w-2 with each state using it's tax form?

Normally you'll have to file returns in each state that you worked. You generally only claim the income earned in that state.
You file a return in your home state for all income earned in all states. Most states allow a credit for taxes paid to other states or an exclusion for income earned in other states.
You'll have to check with each state's tax authorities to find out how and what to file for each state. Every state has their own rules and you have to be careful to follow them exactly.

When WE had that experience (lived and moved between 3 states in one year), we had to file our STATE taxes for each state, but as far as FEDERALLY, it was just the cumulation. Whereas, my father (a railroader), often works in other states and is on the road a LOT, but his HOME is in one state (with my mom). If he spends the majority of his time "living" in motels in another state, then he sometimes has to file under the OTHER state instead, which means that he and my mom file under separate states. (this doesn't happen often though)
I would suggest, if you are unsure, and you know this was a rare thing, you should go this year to someplace like H&R Block (which WE did that year), or another place with a tax PROFESSIONAL, and they'll help you through it.

before everything, on line tax classes at the instant are not written for circumstances like yours - and you could surely flow in to confirm a tax expert. You DO could report all of the W-2 varieties with Georgia...they're going to verify. It sounds such as you have been a factor-year resident in each of those States. based on the State rules and the off-gadgets paid to the different States, no depend if those States recognize that or no longer... you surely could flow to H&R Block or Hewitt-Jackson or a CPA or a tax preparer...it incredibly is purely way too complicated/too many States in contact. And specific, be arranged to pay some $ for that. Sorry. extra appropriate success next year.
