Did you know that by registering an account with the Department of Revenue’s Georgia Tax Center (GTC), you can sign up to receive notifications when any activity takes place on your account? These notifications help you closely monitor your tax status and help combat fraudulent activity. Visit https://gtc.dor.ga.gov to register. For assistance, you may visit our self-service instructional videos: https://dor.georgia.gov/taxes/georgia-tax-center-help/how-videos. 

Did you also know that taxpayers who file their returns electronically and have their refunds directly deposited into their bank accounts receive their refunds much more quickly than those who file a paper return? If you have been considering electronic filing, some of the benefits include: 

• Faster and more accurate processing 
• Receiving your refund more quickly by either mail or direct deposit 
• The ability to file from your home PC or have your taxes prepared by a professional electronic return originator
• Elimination of mailing paper returns 

The Department of Revenue encourages taxpayers to take time to review and adjust their Georgia income tax withholding if they received a substantial refund last year. By reducing withholding amounts, taxpayers have immediate use of their earnings and will not have to wait until the following year to get their money. Please use the Form G-4 (or G-4P if you are receiving a pension) to determine your withholding allowances. These forms can be found on the Department’s website at https://dor.georgia.gov. 

If you file electronically and need to make a payment, you may pay by electronic check using the Georgia Tax Center. Visit gtc.dor.ga.gov or visit our self-service instructional videos: https://dor.georgia.gov/taxes/georgia-tax-center-help/how-videos. For additional information, contact the Taxpayer Customer Contact Center at 1-877-423-6711. 

The Department of Revenue, as outlined in the Taxpayer Bill of Rights, will provide “fair, courteous and timely service” to the taxpayers of Georgia. We have implemented several initiatives to ensure we uphold that standard. Our mission is to administer the tax laws of the state of Georgia fairly and efficiently in order to promote public confidence and compliance while providing excellent customer service.
