GA: It's Not Just for the Bulldogs (But They Might Owe Some Taxes Too)
GA simply stands for Georgia, the beautiful state we all call home (or at least write down on our tax forms). So, when you see "GA" on your return, it's just reminding you which state's tax coffers you'll be enriching (hopefully not depleting entirely).
TX: Hold Your Horses, It's Not About Texas (Unless You Live There Too)
This one can be a bit of a head-scratcher. TX doesn't refer to Texas (although those bootscootin' Texans probably have their own tax headaches). In the world of Georgia taxes, TX actually means Tax Type. So, depending on what kind of tax you're filing for, the TX code will change. Here's a quick rundown:
- 01 - Income Tax (because let's face it, everybody makes some moolah)
- 02 - Sales Tax (remember that pack of peanuts you bought? Yeah, that)
- 03 - Use Tax (bought something online and didn't pay sales tax? Gotta pay it here)
- There are other codes too, but these are the most common.
Remember: If you're unsure what TX code applies to you, consult the Georgia Department of Revenue's website (they have people way smarter than us sorting this stuff out).
QuickTip: Read actively, not passively.
PYMT: The All-Important Pay Me! Part
Finally, we reach the heart of the matter: PYMT. This simply means Payment. So, "GA, TX, PYMT" essentially translates to "Pay your Georgia taxes, you beautiful citizen!"
Important Note: Don't be tempted to channel your inner Robin Hood and skip this part. The state of Georgia has a thing for collecting taxes, and neglecting to PYMT might result in some unpleasant consequences (like late fees that could make your wallet cry).
