FAQs

How long to get Georgia tax refund?

You can expect to receive your Georgia tax refund within 21 to 90 days after your return is accepted (assuming there are no issues with your return). The fastest way to get your refund is to e-file your Georgia state income tax return and choose direct deposit. However, if your return is incorrect, incomplete, or you filed a paper return, the refund process can take longer.

How to check Georgia tax refund?

You can check your refund online using the “Check My Refund Status Online” tool on the Georgia Department of Revenue’s website. To use the tool, you’ll need your Social Security number, tax year, and expected refund amount.

When does Georgia release tax refunds?

Georgia processes refunds after returns are received and accepted. While there’s no set issue date for all refunds, most e-filed refunds are issued within a few weeks of filing (paper returns may take several more weeks).
Note that these are general guidelines. Timing may vary depending on the type of return and the volume of returns being processed by the state tax department at the time. If you have waited longer than the expected timeframe and still haven’t received your refund, use your state’s refund status tracking tool (linked above) or contact your state department of taxation using the contact info above.

Why is my Georgia tax refund under manual review?

If your return contains errors, missing information, or is flagged for potential fraud, it may trigger a manual review. Manual reviews take longer to process, which can delay your refund.

Why is my Georgia tax refund being offset?

State refunds can be offset (reduced or withheld) if you owe certain debts, such as unpaid taxes or child support, defaulted student loans, or other unpaid court-ordered debts. Tax agencies have the authority to intercept refunds to pay for certain debts. If you believe your refund offset was done in error, contact your state tax department.

What day are Georgia tax refunds deposited?

There isn’t a fixed “deposit day” for state refunds. Basically, once your refund is approved, Georgia issues it as soon as possible. Direct deposit usually arrives faster than mailed checks, but the exact day varies depending on when you filed and how quickly your return is processed.
