Georgia

Lead generation for financial advisors in Georgia.

Georgia has 1,760,341 residents aged 65 and over, 10th of 50 states by count, even though at 15.8% of the state its share ranks 47th. That is a large retiree market in absolute terms, with state tax rules built around a per person retirement income exclusion that a 2026 law is raising.

Georgia's exclusion covers investment income as well as pensions, and it applies to each spouse separately, with jointly owned property split 50% between them, so how a couple holds assets changes how much the state taxes.

Market knowledge

What Georgia pre-retirees are actually asking about

The questions here are about how far the retirement exclusion stretches and what the 2026 tax law changed. Verified against the Georgia Department of Revenue, the enacted text of HB 463 and the Office of the Governor on 2026-09-24.

$35,000 at 62, $65,000 at 65, per person

For 2025 and 2026, Georgia lets taxpayers aged 62 to 64 exclude up to $35,000 of retirement income, and those 65 or older up to $65,000. It counts pensions, annuities, interest, dividends, rental income, capital gains, royalties and up to $5,000 of earned income. Each spouse qualifies separately.

Social Security sits outside the exclusion

Georgia subtracts Social Security and Railroad Retirement benefits included in federal adjusted gross income, and they are not counted in the retirement income exclusion calculation. The full exclusion therefore remains available for pension, annuity and investment income.

A 4.99% flat rate in 2026, a larger exclusion in 2027

HB 463, signed May 11, 2026, sets Georgia's income tax rate at 4.99% from January 1, 2026, down from 5.19%. From the 2027 tax year it raises the exclusion for those 65 or older to $70,000, while the 62 to 64 amount stays at $35,000. Further annual rate cuts toward 3.99% can be delayed.

The $70,000 exclusion starts in 2027, so planning for the 2026 tax year should still use $65,000. Retirement income above the exclusion is taxed at the regular flat rate, 4.99% for 2026.
