Georgia tax details
- MID-YEAR CHANGE: HB 463 (signed May 11, 2026) cut the rate from 5.19% to 4.99% and raised the standard deduction ($12,000/$24,000 → $15,000/$30,000) and dependent deduction ($4,000 → $5,000), retroactive to Jan 1, 2026. Employers withheld at 5.19% until May 11, 2026, so early-2026 paychecks were over-withheld.
- No personal exemption for taxpayer/spouse (replaced by the larger standard deduction).
