How do freelance web developers in Georgia handle taxes?
Freelance developers pay self-employment tax (15.3%) plus Georgia state income tax (5.39% (flat rate, recently reduced)). Quarterly estimated payments are required. Deductible expenses include hardware, software, internet, home office, and education/training. A dedicated business account makes this much easier to track.
