What are the rules (i.e., Income limits/availability) around student loan interest deduction for Georgia State Income returns?

Does the State of Georgia provide a deduction for Student loan interest paid, and if so what are the eligibility requirements?

No, Georgia does not have student loan interest paid as a deduction or a credit.

When you enter the student loan interest paid as an adjustment to income on the Federal tax return, it reduces your Adjusted Gross Income.  The AGI is the base income on a Georgia state tax return entered on Form 500 Line 8.
