Georgia uniquely deducts exactly one-half of self-employment taxes from gross income. A "theoretical child support order" credit is available for other qualified children. The low-income deviation provides a minimum support amount of $100 for one child plus $50 for each additional child. Extraordinary expenses exceeding 7% of the basic obligation may warrant deviation.
