Georgia taxpayers should begin seeing income tax refunds from the state soon.

The average refund so far is $350 more than last year at this time, despite projections that it would be closer to $1,000 due to Republican-led tax changes as part of the Big Beautiful Bill Act.

Some people are splurging. Others are finding that their refunds are being swallowed up by the rising cost of gas.

As folks await their extra tax refund, many Georgia taxpayers are wondering exactly when they’ll see their state refunds and what to expect next.

If the IRS owes you a tax refund, it should come within 3 weeks of filing. And in a change, 25 states are now participating in the IRS's free online filing program.
