Try electronic filing for your state income tax return. E-filing is simpler, more secure, and more streamlined than paper filing, and tax returns and refunds are processed more quickly.
What You Should Know:
- The Georgia Department of Revenue can help determine if you qualify for free electronic filing.
- If you file paper returns, don't send the forms by certified mail. This slows the processing.
- Avoid common mistakes: Check that the number of dependents you've claimed in the boxes is correct. You will not be credited for any unclaimed dependents.
