GC - Multiple State Tax Returns (Non-resident Status Query)

[zamaan]

Hello

I got the GC in November after entering USA.

When I filed my taxes - I filed Federal 1040A (as a resident) and for state - I had to do so for 3 states - IL, GA and LA.

Since I was only resident of IL during that time - do I have to file GA and LA state tax with "non-resident status".

I am concerned because the GC documentation says "that you lose your immigration status if you ever file taxes as a non-resident"

Also - the US citizenship application asks "Have you ever called yourself 'non-resident' on a Federal, State or local tax return?"

Have any of the folks on this forum (with GC initially) filed state returns as non-resident and have gone through with their citizenship processing/ interview without issues?

Kindly guide.

Thanks
