🗣️🗣️🗣️ Attn: Georgia Residents!!!
If you filed a tax return for tax years 2020 and 2021, be on the lookout for your "Surplus Payment."
Last month, Gov. Brian Kemp signed into law a bill that will send payments to Georgians out of a state budget surplus of more than $2 billion. Of that surplus, $1.6 billion is being sent back directly to the pockets of Georgia residents who paid state income taxes for at least the last two years.
The payments will come in three varying amounts, depending on how your household files taxes:
Single tax filers or married taxpayers filing separately: $250
Head of household filers: $375
Married joint filers: $500
People should start seeing the payments from about May 4-18.
One other thing to remember is that this is a one-time payment from the state of Georgia - it is not the same as your overall income tax return refund
