A Georgia bill increasing the state standard deductions for all filing statuses starting in 2022 was signed March 22 by Gov. Brian Kemp (R).
The measure (H.B. 593) increases the standard deduction to $5,400, from $4,600, for single taxpayers and heads of household; to $7,100, from $6,000, for married individuals filing jointly; and to $3,550, from $3,000, for married individuals filing separately.
The bill takes effect July 1, but applies starting with tax year 2022.
