EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT (EITC)

Georgia does not currently offer a state-level EITC.

Notes:

• Georgia offers a small low-income tax credit for individuals with an income below $20,000 and does not require filers to have worked or earned income in order to qualify.¹

• In 2017, state lawmakers are considering a large income tax proposal that includes the creation of a nonrefundable state-level EITC set at 10% of the federal credit.
