Today is the deadline for Georgia residents to file for a $500 tax rebate.
Georgia Residents Must File Tax Returns by Monday for Surplus Tax Refund
Attention Georgia residents! Don’t miss out on your chance to receive a rebate from the state’s Surplus Tax Refund. But hurry, you must file your 2021 or 2022 tax returns by Monday to be eligible!
If you received an extension from the IRS, don’t worry. You still have time to collect the rebate. Just make sure to file your individual tax returns by Oct. 16. And for those affected by Hurricane Idalia, the Georgia Department of Revenue has granted an extension until Feb. 15.
How Much Can You Get?
Wondering how much the tax refund could be? Well, it depends on your filing status. Single filers or married taxpayers filing separately can receive $250, heads of household can get $375, and married taxpayers filing jointly can receive $500. That’s some extra cash in your pocket!
Who’s Eligible?
To qualify for the rebate, you must have a tax liability for tax year 2021. Whether you’re a Georgia resident, a part-year resident, or a nonresident, you can still receive the rebate. Just make sure to submit your return on time.
A “timely received return” includes a return electronically transmitted by Oct. 16, a return in a postmarked envelope by Oct. 16, or a return received at a Department of Revenue location by Oct. 16. So, mark your calendars!
What’s the Deal with the Surplus Tax Refund?
Thanks to Governor Brian Kemp and the legislature, Georgia taxpayers have the opportunity to benefit from the state’s surplus. House Bill 162 made it possible for eligible taxpayers to receive a tax refund. And this isn’t the first time! A similar bill was signed to provide refunds for 2020 tax returns in 2022.
Don’t Delay, File Today!
If you didn’t qualify for an extension, you needed to file your returns by April 18. The Department of Revenue advised that it may take six to eight weeks to receive your payment. So, make sure to file on time to get your refund sooner!
And remember, Georgia isn’t the only state offering tax rebates. Alabama, Illinois, Minnesota, and others are also providing one-time rebates or unclaimed property checks to eligible residents. It’s a small relief in these challenging times.
So, what are you waiting for? File your tax returns now and secure your Surplus Tax Refund!
