As was the case in 2022, tax filers still must have filed and paid taxes for the previous two years to be qualified for the 2023 Tax Refunds. Frank O’Connell, the Commissioner of Revenue of Georgia, stated that most tax refunds from last year have already been issued in July 2022.

The Department of Revenue is expecting all 2023 Tax Refunds for those who have filed by the deadline on April 18 to be issued within the next two months. Nonetheless, the tax refunds will not be issued until a taxpayer’s returns in 2022 have already been processed.
