What to know about taxes in Georgia
Georgia moved to a flat income tax in 2024 and is stepping the rate down each year.
Georgia residents file a state return alongside the federal one, and people who move in or out during the year, or earn income across state lines, often need part-year or nonresident returns. We prepare federal and Georgia returns together so nothing is taxed twice.
