State Taxes

Georgia income tax is usually withheld from your paycheck as you receive it each pay cycle. While the federal income tax rates are set for each income bracket, state income tax rates do not necessarily align with the federal figures.

In general the more you make, the more you will be taxed. To find out more about Georgia  income tax, sales tax, W4 forms, 1040 forms, tax returns, current state tax rates and general Georgia tax information, click here for the Georgia Department of Revenue website.
