From a tax standpoint only -
Florida does not have a personal income tax. But they make up for that by having higher state sales taxes and higher property taxes.
Georgia does have a personal income tax. But there is a Retirement Income Exclusion for those age 62 or older on the state tax return.
Georgia allows taxpayers age 62-64 to exclude up to $35,000 of retirement income on their tax return. Taxpayers age 65 or older can exclude up to $65,000 of their retirement income on their tax return. Both the taxpayer and the spouse can qualify for the exemption. However, each must qualify individually.
