Where to send state/federal tax return in GA

When you printed your Forms there should have been a coversheet on top, that told you the addresses for reference.

 

For Georgia there are two addresses, one if you are getting a refund and one if you paying tax. 

 

You would send your 500-500EZ and your 8879. You would only need to include your 1040 to Georgia if you have excluded combat pay or are filing a 1040NR.

 

500 and 500 EZ
(refunds and no balance due)

500 and 500 EZ

Assemble Your Return Form 1040:

 

Assemble any schedules and forms behind Form 1040 or 1040-SR in order of the “Attachment Sequence No.” shown in the upper-right corner of the schedule or form. If you have supporting statements, arrange them in the same order as the schedules or forms they support and attach them last. File your return, schedules, and other attachments on standard size paper. 

 

Cutting the paper may cause problems in processing your return. 

 

Don’t attach correspondence or other items unless required to do so. 

 

Attach Forms W-2 and 2439 to Form 1040 or 1040-SR. If you received a Form W-2c (a corrected Form W-2), attach your original Forms W-2 and any Forms W-2c. Attach Forms W-2G and 1099-R to Form 1040 or 1040-SR if tax was withheld.
