Important Information- Today, I called Turbotax and spoke with their customer care rep. After a long hold and going to and fro, he finally told me that the all GA Forms 600S are not ready yet. They will NOT be ready before March 15th. I asked him if that means I will miss my filing deadline...he said yes. I could not believe this. Good bye Turbotax... Fiasco Tax 10/11/2023

Although the Forms Availability Table for TurboTax Business indicates that the Georgia State Income modules for all business entities are ready for filing, recent developments have delayed implementation. Since we have not been given an estimated release date, you may wish to consider requesting an extension of time to file. 

 

According to the Georgia Department of Revenue, if you have a filed a Federal extension (Form 7004) by the original due date of your return, you will be granted an additional 6 months to file your Georgia return.

Corporate Due Dates

For taxable years beginning on or before January 1, 2016, corporate income tax returns are due on or before the 15th day of the 3rd month following the close of the taxable year with the exception of an extension.
