Some good news could be coming to your mailbox or via direct deposit.
The Georgia Department of Revenue announced in March that it will begin issuing rebate checks to all eligible taxpayers in the state. Eligible taxpayers who filed their 2024 and 2025 returns before the filing deadline can expect to receive their refund within the coming weeks.
An individual filer’s refund amount will depend on their tax liability:
- $250 for single filers and married individuals filing separately
- $375 for head of household filers
- $500 for married individuals filing jointly
“Our team is ready to deliver these refunds efficiently and securely to Georgia taxpayers,” said DOR Commissioner David Burge. “We’ve built a process that prioritizes accuracy and speed so eligible filers can receive their money as quickly as possible.”
