Are there incentives or tax breaks for retirees moving to Georgia?

Yes, Georgia offers retiree-friendly tax incentives that can make it more affordable to retire there:

• No tax on Social Security benefits.
• Generous retirement income exclusion for those 62+: a portion of pensions, IRAs, and 401(k) withdrawals can be excluded from state income tax (up to a set annual amount per person).
• No estate or inheritance tax, and relatively low property taxes compared with many states.

These breaks help stretch retirement income and can make Georgia an attractive financial choice for retirees.
