Georgia Income Tax Overview

Georgia taxes individual income at a single flat rate of 5.19%. That is a departure from the tiered brackets the state used for decades; today every dollar of Georgia taxable income faces the same percentage whether you earn $30,000 or $300,000. Residents owe it on essentially all income, and nonresidents owe it on income earned from Georgia sources. The tax is administered by the Georgia Department of Revenue, which issues the forms and processes returns each spring.

Georgia income tax stacks on top of, not instead of, federal income tax, so a typical worker settles two separate bills. You start from federal adjusted gross income, apply Georgia's standard deduction of $12,000 for a single filer (or itemize), and multiply what remains by 5.19%. Because the rate is flat, raises and bonuses are taxed at that same 5.19% by the state, which makes the state side of a tax estimate straightforward once you know your deductions.

Georgia Income Tax FAQ

Who has to pay Georgia state income tax?
Full-year Georgia residents owe the 5.19% tax on their total taxable income, and part-year residents owe it on income earned while living in the state. Nonresidents who earn wages, business income, or rental income from Georgia sources also file and pay on that Georgia-sourced amount. The Georgia Department of Revenue sets the filing thresholds and forms.
How is the flat 5.19% rate calculated on my income?
Begin with your federal adjusted gross income, subtract the Georgia standard deduction of $12,000 for a single filer (or your itemized deductions and any state adjustments), and multiply the result by 5.19%. Because the rate is flat, there is no bracket math: the same 5.19% applies to your first taxable dollar and your last.
Does Georgia tax come on top of federal income tax?
Yes. The two are separate systems billed by different agencies, the IRS for federal and the Georgia Department of Revenue for state. You can owe federal tax in a graduated set of brackets while owing Georgia a flat 5.19%, and the federal and state returns are filed independently even though both start from similar income figures.
How are bonuses and raises taxed in Georgia?
At the state level they are taxed at the same flat 5.19% as the rest of your income, since Georgia has no higher brackets for additional earnings. Federal supplemental withholding on a bonus may differ from your regular paycheck rate, but the Georgia portion stays proportional, which makes the state side of a raise easy to estimate.
