Question

Georgia Senior Deduction

Where does the GA senior deduction ($2,600) show on Form 500? Line 11 is showing the standard deduction of $24,000 for married filing jointly. Both my wife and I are over the age of 65.

The Retirement Income Exclusion is shown on the Georgia state tax return Form 500 on Line 9. Calculated on Georgia Schedule 1 page 2.

The reason you are not seeing the additional $2,600 senior deduction on your 2025 Georgia Form 500 is that it was officially eliminated starting in the 2024 tax year. Georgia overhauled its tax structure to move toward a flat tax system. As part of this change, the state removed the separate $1,300 per-person senior/blind deductions and instead significantly increased the base standard deduction to cover those amounts.
