Special Tax Refunds Worth $1B To Be Issued In GA: Updated Timing
- Georgia Governor Brian Kemp announced that the state will issue one-time special tax refunds worth up to $500 starting this week to eligible residents.
- The refunds result from House Bill 112, approved during this year's legislative session alongside a tax rate rollback from 5.39% to 5.19%, reflecting Georgia's strong economic growth and surplus.
- To qualify for rebates between $250 and $500 based on filing status, taxpayers needed to submit their 2023 and 2024 income tax returns by the May 1 deadline, have a tax liability for 2023, and have no outstanding debts with the Department of Revenue.
- Governor Kemp highlighted that due to prudent management of the state's finances, Georgia is once again distributing funds directly to hardworking residents, recognizing that they are best positioned to decide how to use this money, especially during challenging economic times.
- Refunds are expected to be processed promptly within six to eight weeks following the deadline, and residents can verify their eligibility and track refund status by using Georgia’s Surplus Tax Refund Eligibility Tool.
