Georgia income tax rates 2026
Georgia moved to a flat income tax during its recent reform and taxes wages at 5.19% for 2026, with a generous standard deduction and a $4,000 exemption for each dependent.
The 5.19% applies to federal taxable wages after a state standard deduction of $12,000 single and $24,000 joint, plus $4,000 for every dependent. There is no personal exemption for the taxpayer. The large standard deduction means the effective state rate at a middle income is noticeably below the headline figure.
