How Georgia Taxes Work in 2026
Georgia levies a flat state income tax rate of 5.49% on all taxable income. A flat tax means every taxpayer pays the same percentage, regardless of income level, which simplifies tax filing. Georgia offers a standard deduction of $5,400 for single filers and $7,100 for married filing jointly. This deduction reduces your taxable income before the 5.49% rate is applied. In addition to the 5.49% state income tax, Georgia residents also pay federal income tax (10% to 37% based on income) and FICA taxes (6.2% Social Security + 1.45% Medicare).
