Checking a Georgia CPA

CPAs in Georgia are licensed by the Georgia State Board of Accountancy, with licenses verifiable online through the Georgia Secretary of State's professional licensing service. CPAverify.org is another option. Confirm the license is active.

Georgia taxes in brief

  • Flat state income tax since 2024, with the rate scheduled to step down over several years - check the rate for the year you are filing.
  • Sales tax: the state rate is 4%, and local taxes are added on top, so most Georgians pay a combined rate of 7% or more.
  • Moving to Georgia part-way through the year usually means a part-year resident return here and in the state you left.
  • Businesses may also owe Georgia corporate income tax and an annual net worth tax, depending on how they are set up.

Free help

The IRS VITA and TCE programs offer free return preparation by certified volunteers across Georgia for people on low to moderate incomes and for older taxpayers.
