You did not receive a tax benefit because you claimed the standard deduction so your Georgia Tax Rebate is not taxable.
A tax benefit means you were able to save federal tax by deducting Georgia tax. Taxpayers who itemized their deductions are able to deduct either state and local tax or sales tax. Those who deduct income tax generally receive a tax benefit. Those who chose to deduct sales tax did not receive a tax benefit from deducting state income tax.
