Georgia Begins Sending Out Special Tax Refund Checks: Here's What You Need to Know
State officials said more than $1 billion will go back to eligible taxpayers, with refunds capped at $250 to $500 based on filing status.
- On Monday, the Georgia Department of Revenue began issuing payments from the state's $1.2 billion surplus tax rebate, with eligible taxpayers receiving funds via direct deposit or paper check.
- Authorized under House Bill 1000, these rebates mark the fourth round issued under Kemp's administration since 2022; to qualify, residents must have filed timely individual income tax returns for both 2024 and 2025.
- Refund amounts are capped based on filing status: up to $250 for single filers, $375 for heads of household, and $500 for married couples filing jointly, with payments based on tax liability.
- "Georgians know best how to spend their money, not the government," Kemp said in a statement, crediting the state's balanced-budget approach for enabling the relief while other states raise taxes.
- Most eligible taxpayers can expect payments in the coming weeks, with those waiting able to check status through the Georgia Tax Center website; the legislation also streamlines unclaimed property returns.
