If you work in one state and live in another, taxes are not be straightforward. If you earn income in one state while living in another, you will need to file a tax return in your resident state reporting all income you earn, no matter the location. You would also be required to file a state tax return in your state of employment.

So in the given case John and Mary would file their Federal Income Tax Return from the State of Georgia. And they would need to file State Tax Returns both in Georgia and Alabama.
