Your State's Slice of the $40,000 Cap
Georgia's progressive brackets (up to 5.39%) plus metro Atlanta property taxes clear the old cap comfortably.
- • State income + property tax → OBBBA SALT deduction
- • Cap $40,000 with phase-out above $500,000 MFJ
- • Retirees: Georgia excludes $65,000/$130,000 of retirement income — lower state tax, lower SALT

- • Deductible amount: $15,000
- • Federal income tax savings: $3,600 (at the 24% marginal rate)
- • Per biweekly paycheck: $138

Frequently Asked Questions
Do Georgia retirees benefit from the OBBBA SALT cap?
Less than workers — Georgia's retirement exclusion lowers state income tax, so total SALT may stay near the old cap. Property tax still feeds the deduction.
Atlanta property taxes — all deductible?
Ad valorem real property tax counts; special assessments for local improvements generally don't.
