Understanding Your Georgia Paycheck

In Georgia, your employer withholds federal and FICA taxes from your paycheck. FICA taxes fund Medicare and Social Security, with your employer matching these contributions. Additionally, there's an extra Medicare surtax for high earners, which your employer doesn't match.

If you're self-employed, you pay the full FICA taxes yourself, but you can deduct some of this during tax season. Federal tax withholding depends on your Form W-4, which you should update when starting a new job or after major life changes.

Pre-tax contributions to a 401(k), health savings account, or flexible spending account can lower your taxable income. However, be careful not to underpay your taxes throughout the year, as this could lead to a large tax bill and penalties if you owe more than $1,000.

How You Can Affect Your Georgia Paycheck

If you got a big tax bill or a large refund this tax season, it might be a good idea to adjust how much tax is withheld from your paychecks. A surprise tax bill in April can disrupt your budget, and while a big refund seems nice, you could have been earning interest on that money if it had been in a savings account all year.

One simple way to increase your tax withholding is to ask your employer to take out more money from each paycheck. On your W-4 form, just write down the extra amount you want deducted each time. For example, if you want $10 more taken out of each paycheck, note that on the form. It might seem like your paychecks are smaller, but you’re paying your taxes ahead of time, so you won’t face a big tax bill later.

You can also adjust your pre-tax contributions to change how much is withheld for taxes. Pre-tax contributions reduce your taxable income because they come out of your wages before taxes are calculated. Examples of pre-tax accounts include flexible spending accounts, health savings accounts, commuter benefits programs, and retirement accounts like a 401(k) or 403(b).
