Social Security benefits in Georgia
Varies
Is Social Security Taxed in Georgia?
Short answer: No. Georgia exempts taxable Social Security and Railroad Retirement benefits; the federally taxable portion is subtracted on Schedule 1 of Form 500. Social Security is not counted toward Georgia's separate retirement income exclusion for people 62 and older.
Federally, up to 85% of benefits can be taxable depending on your combined income (IRS Pub 915); that part doesn't change by state.
Records to keep: Keep your state return, W-2s and 1099s (1099-R, SSA-1099), and any state credit worksheets. Check your state revenue department's current-year instructions before you file.
