QuickTip: Check if a section answers your question.
There are a few ways to crack the code and find the whereabouts of your sweet, sweet surplus cash. Here are your top options:
Tip: Keep the flow, don’t jump randomly.
Channel your inner internet sleuth: The Georgia Department of Revenue (DOR) has a nifty little online tool called the "Surplus Tax Refund checker" [Georgia Surplus Tax Refund]. All you need is your social security number/ITIN, your 2022 tax return's magic number (aka the Federal Adjusted Gross Income), and a dash of patience (the status updates nightly).
Become a phone warrior (but maybe not): The DOR also offers an automated phone service, but be warned, these lines can get busier than a flea market on a Saturday morning. You might be better off sticking to the online checker.
The GTC: Your One-Stop Shop (if you have one): If you're already rocking a Georgia Tax Center (GTC) account, you can potentially see your surplus check info there too. Plus, you get bonus points for being digitally savvy!
Important Note: The surplus refund train started rolling in May, but depending on when you filed your taxes and other factors, it might take a while for your check to arrive. Don't panic! Patience, young grasshopper.
Tip: Take your time with each sentence.
