Frequently Asked Questions
Georgia Form IT-303, Application for Extension of Time for Filing State Income Tax Returns, is used to request additional time to file eligible Georgia state tax returns. It applies to corporations, S corporations, partnerships, fiduciaries, and other taxpayers covered by the form.
The standard extension period is up to 6 months, while fiduciary returns are limited to 5½ months. For tax periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025, corporations are eligible for one additional month of extension.
If the IRS has approved your Federal Form 7004 extension, you generally do not need to file a separate Georgia Form IT-303. Georgia accepts the federal extension when the Georgia return is filed within the IRS-extended period, and a copy of the approved federal extension is attached to the return.
Yes. Georgia Form IT-303 can be used to request an extension for individual income tax returns, including Form 500. The same form is also used for eligible business, partnership, fiduciary, and corporate income tax extensions.
You can request an extension by completing Form IT-303 in triplicate and mailing the original to the Georgia Department of Revenue by the original due date of your return. For calendar-year filers, the original due date is typically April 15 for corporations and March 15 for S corporations and partnerships.
The extension provides additional time to file your Georgia tax return. Attach one copy of the completed Form IT-303 to your Georgia return when you file it, and keep the remaining copy for your records.
Form IT-303 must be filed on or before the original due date of your Georgia tax return. Filing the return late or failing to pay the required tax on time can result in penalties and interest.
- Late Filing Penalty: A penalty of 5% of any unpaid tax is charged for each month or fraction of a month the return is late, up to a maximum of 25% of the unpaid tax.
- Late Payment Penalty: A penalty of 0.5% of any unpaid tax is charged for each month or fraction of a month the tax remains unpaid, up to a maximum of 25%. This penalty applies even if you have an approved filing extension.
- Net Worth Tax Penalties: A separate 10% penalty applies for late filing of the Net Worth Tax portion of a business return, along with an additional 10% penalty for late payment.
- Interest: Interest accrues on unpaid tax from the original due date until the tax is paid in full, based on Georgia’s applicable statutory interest rate.
An extension gives you additional time to file, but you must still pay any tax due by the original due date to avoid applicable late payment penalties and interest.
No. Form IT-303 only extends the time to file your Georgia tax return, not the time to pay any tax owed. Individuals who expect to owe tax should make an estimated payment using Form IT-560 by the original return due date.
No. If the IRS approves your Federal Form 7004 extension, you generally do not need to file Form IT-303, provided you file your Georgia return within the IRS-extended period and attach a copy of the federal extension.
If you prefer to file the form yourself, or want to know where your TaxBandits-prepared form should be mailed, send the original Form IT-303 to:
