There are two ways to obtain an extension to file your Georgia income tax return:Attach a copy of the Federal extension to the Georgia return when
filed;or
Submit Georgia Form IT-303. You must mail Form IT-303 before the
return due date and attach a copy to the return when filed. Also,
keep a copy of the form for your records. GA will notify you only if
your extension request is denied.
An extension to file does not extend the date for paying the tax. Tax must be paid by the statutory due date to avoid late payment penalty and interest. Use Form IT-560 to pay tax due. The amount paid should be entered on Form 500, Page 2, Line 20. Form IT-560 is located on page 13 of the instructions.
