Georgia 529 tax deduction
Georgia's Path2College 529 Plan lets Georgia taxpayers deduct up to $4,000 per beneficiary per year from Georgia adjusted gross income, or $8,000 per beneficiary for joint filers. At Georgia's 2026 flat rate of 4.99%, that saves up to $199.60 per child ($399.20 joint). Earnings are free of federal and Georgia tax when used for qualified education costs.
Example: a married couple putting $8,000 a year into accounts for each of two children deducts $16,000. Check your whole Georgia return in the state paycheck calculator, and project growth with the 529 calculator.
