Tax refund processing times vary and depend on the accuracy of the original return, but you'll get your refund more quickly if you file your return electronically.
- If you file electronically, your refund should arrive within two to three weeks.
- If you file a paper return before April 1, your refund may take seven weeks to reach you.
- If you file a paper return after April 1, expect to wait 10 weeks before your refund arrives.
Visit the Georgia Tax Center to check the status of your refund.
