Part-year and nonresident filers who file Georgia individual tax returns for 2023 and 2024 will be eligible for a refund, too. It probably won’t be as high as Georgia residents’ refunds because it will be prorated based partly on how much of the income is taxable in Georgia.
For timely filers, the refunds should start arriving in late May or early June.
On Tuesday, Kemp, flanked by first lady Marty Kemp, state lawmakers and local leaders, signed HB 111, accelerating the largest state income tax cut in Georgia history, and HB 112, which will authorize the delivery of $1 billion in one-time special tax refunds up to $500 to Georgia taxpayer households.

“Here in Georgia, we safeguard every dollar of taxpayer money, because we know it belongs to the people, not the government,” Kemp said. “While other states are running up budget deficits and raising taxes on their citizens, we’re investing in the priorities of our state while further cutting taxes and returning more than a billion dollars to hard-working Georgians.”
