FAQ
Does Georgia offer any income tax relief for retirees? Yes. A retirement exclusion is allowed provided the taxpayer is 62 years of age or older, or the taxpayer is totally and permanently disabled.
2024 Senior Citizen-Standard Income Tax Deduction For those 65 years of age or legally blind, the standard deduction was increased in 2024 to $1,950 for Single filers or Head of Household, and $1,550 (per person) for married filing jointly, married filing separately, and Surviving Spouses.
The earnings limit for people reaching their “full” retirement age in 2025 will increase to $62,160. (We deduct $1 from benefits for each $3 earned over $62,160 until the month the worker turns “full” retirement age.) There is no limit on earnings for workers who are "full" retirement age or older for the entire year.
You can start receiving your Social Security retirement benefits as early as age 62. However, you are entitled to full benefits only when you reach your full retirement age. If you delay taking your benefits from your full retirement age up to age 70, your benefit amount will increase.
