Do I owe Georgia state income tax on my personal injury settlement?

No. Georgia conforms to the federal exclusion under IRC § 104. The Georgia Department of Revenue does not tax compensatory personal injury recoveries. Georgia does not impose a separate state income tax on excluded federal income. Components that are federally taxable (like punitive damages) are also taxable for Georgia purposes since Georgia income tax is calculated from federal adjusted gross income.
