If you owe GA or IRS Income Taxes and you filed an extension, file your 2022 Return by October 16, 2023 to avoid late filing penalties. If you have not filed any of your 2022 Tax Returns, e-File them until Oct. 16, 2023.

Tip: Even if you cannot pay your taxes owed on time, file your return on time because the late filing penalties are higher than the late payment penalties.

It's easy to complete and e-File your IRS and Georgia State Tax Return (e.g resident, nonresident, or part-year resident returns) on eFile.com. However, the IRS and the State Tax Agencies require you to e-File a Federal Income Tax Return along with a State Tax Return. This is not an eFile.com policy but an IRS and State Agency policy. Therefore, you technically cannot e-File anywhere - not just eFile.com - a Georgia Tax Return without also e-filing an IRS Tax Return. However, please read on for good news.

Here are detailed instructions on how you can only prepare and mail in - not eFile - a Georgia 2022 Tax Return - here via eFile.com. However, you must download/print and sign the forms and mail them to the Tax Agency.
