Introduction to GTC - FAQ

GTC stands for Georgia Tax Center. GTC is used for electronic filing and paying of Sales and Use Tax, Withholding Income Tax, IFTA, Motor Fuel, Contracting and Licensing, Alcohol, and Tobacco. Individuals and Corporations can make payments without signing up for online access. GTC will allow for easier filing through online entry, imports, single file uploads, and bulk file uploads.

Anytime you make a change or perform an action on your account, GTC records a request. This request will be processed by our tax system at various times throughout the day. Examples of requests are filing a return, making a payment or adding another account. To view requests, click the Pending/Completed Requests link. GTC will display the status of the request as completed or pending.

Yes, if a request has not been processed you can change or withdraw a specific request.

Yes. GTC was designed using up-to-date security technology to ensure the privacy of your transactions. In addition the login and user authentication areas are designed to assure users that they can access their tax filing information in a secure environment.

There are two ways to create a GTC user ID:

1. A user can create a GTC user Id with the “signup for web access” link on the GTC welcome page.

• They will need to provide the account number, zip code, last payment amount (if applicable), and effective date, of at least one of the accounts under the STI to create a user ID.
• If a taxpayer has more than one account, they can add them by providing the account details.
• The administrator of the STI is able to establish access levels for additional user IDs. This can be done through either the default access levels already specified for the STI, or by changing the user’s access level.
• The administrator can create a new user ID for the STI and add access to any of the accounts linked to their profile.

2. New third party filers that do not have a tax account with the Georgia Department of Revenue must download and submit the Bulk Filer Registration form (CRF-Bulk). The DOR will create their Administrator user ID, and in turn, the new administrator can create all other IDs needed by the Third Party filer.
