Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed legislation for another round of state income tax rebates and a state income tax rate lowering during a Cobb Chamber event on Tuesday.
The rebates translate to $250 for single filers, $500 for joint filers and $375 for head of households.
“This is the third special one-time refund like this that we have enacted, and our reason for taking this step is very simple. We know that this is your money, not the government’s, and we know that you know best how to spend it,” said Kemp. “I’m proud to put this money back where it belongs and entrust hardworking Georgians with their own funds, especially as families deal with the high-cost environment that we have been in over the last several years.”
To get a rebate, your 2023 state tax bill had to be at least that amount, and you would have had to file your 2023 and 2024 returns.
The deadline to file your 2024 federal and state returns is May 1. It was extended from April 15 in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.
