Georgia tax refunds for the 2024 tax year began being issued starting in June 2025. Most refunds are typically issued within 3 weeks of the return being received by the Georgia Department of Revenue, although it can take up to 12 weeks to process in some cases. Taxpayers who filed their returns by the May 1, 2025 deadline can expect refunds within about 6-8 weeks after filing. Individuals who filed for extensions will receive refunds later, around October 2025. Additionally, Georgia issued special surplus tax refunds in 2025, with about 90% of those expected refunds already distributed by early August. The amounts and timing vary depending on filing status and whether the taxpayer had filed extensions. You can check the status of your Georgia tax refund online with the Georgia Department of Revenue website using your Social Security Number or ITIN, the expected refund amount, and the tax year of your return.
