Due to hurricane relief efforts in Georgia, the usual tax deadlines for the 2024 tax year have been extended. The Georgia state individual income tax returns for 2024 are now due by May 1, 2025. This extension also applies to payments and filings that would normally be due during March or April 2025. The extension means you have an additional couple of weeks beyond the typical April 15 deadline to file and pay your Georgia state taxes without penalties. If you requested an extension, the final filing deadline is October 15, 2025. However, payments are still expected by the earlier date of May 1, 2025. In summary:
- Regular due date extended to May 1, 2025 for 2024 individual income tax returns and payments.
- Extension to file until October 15, 2025 if you apply.
- Payments are due by May 1, regardless of extension.
This is a temporary adjustment in response to Hurricane Helene impacting the state.
