  • An individual who is a member of a limited liability company, shareholder of an "S" Corporation, or partner in a partnership (pass-through entities) is allowed a Georgia income tax credit for up to $10,000 of the amount they contribute to a SSO (GASSO), so long as they would have paid Georgia income tax in that amount on their share of taxable income from the pass-through entity.
