For Georgia state taxes in 2025, the deadline to file individual income tax returns is May 1, 2025. This is the same day the federal tax returns are due for Georgia residents. The deadline was extended due to the impact of Hurricane Helene. Any taxes owed must still be paid by the original deadline to avoid penalties and interest, but filing and payment deadlines were extended to May 1, 2025, for taxpayers affected by the hurricane. Additionally, first quarter estimated tax payments for Georgia remain due on April 15, 2025, and if you receive a federal extension, you do not need to request a separate extension for the Georgia return as it will be automatically extended accordingly. To summarize:
- Georgia individual income tax filing deadline: May 1, 2025
- Payment deadline: May 1, 2025 (extended for hurricane-affected taxpayers)
- First quarter estimated tax payment due: April 15, 2025
- Federal extension applies automatically to Georgia return extension
This deadline extension applies to taxpayers who were affected by Hurricane Helene and covers various individual and business tax returns originally due between September 24, 2024, and May 1, 2025.
