How Do I file an Application for Extension of Time to File for Georgia?
Online · Written guide Content date 1 min read
Georgia allows an automatic six-month extension if the taxpayer receives a federal extension. Enclose federal Form 4868 with the Georgia return if paper filed. (Tax Processors Plus Online will do this when the return is electronically filed).
If a federal extension is not needed, use Form IT-303, Application for Extension of Time for Filing State Income Tax Return, to request an extension of up to six months. Use Form IT-560, Extension Payment Voucher, to pay any balance due.
To complete Form IT-303 in Tax Processors Plus Online, from the Georgia Return menu select:
- Miscellaneous Forms
- Form IT-303 Application for Extension of Time to File GA Income Tax Return
- Enter Reason for Extension
To complete Form IT-560 in Tax Processors Plus Online, from the Georgia Tax Return Menu select:
- Miscellaneous Forms
- Form IT-560 Extension Payment Voucher
Note: Electronic filing is not supported for the state extension or state extension payment. The federal extension and extension payment may be sent electronically, however the state forms will have to be mailed.
