File My Return - Instructions & Forms

Your federal return contains information necessary for completing your Georgia return.  Please complete your federal return before starting your Georgia return.


The Georgia Individual Income tax is based on the taxpayer's federal adjusted gross income, adjustments that are required by Georgia law, and the taxpayers filing requirements.



Why File Electronically?

Taxpayers who file their returns electronically and have their returns directly deposited into their bank accounts receive their refunds quicker than those who file paper returns.
