Georgia LLC & Partnership Tax Extension

Georgia LLCs and partnerships file income tax returns with the Georgia Department of Revenue. Georgia follows the federal extension lead–once IRS Form 7004 is approved, Georgia automatically extends your LLC or partnership filing deadline by 6 months, with no separate state extension form required.

Original Deadline March 16, 2026
Extended Deadline September 15, 2026
Tax Payment Due March 16 – Georgia’s extension covers filing only–not payment. Any Georgia LLC or partnership tax owed must be paid by March 16, 2026 (March 15 falls on a Sunday) to avoid the 5% monthly failure-to-pay penalty.

How the Extension Works

File IRS Form 7004 with the IRS before March 16, 2026. Georgia automatically grants a corresponding 6-month state extension, pushing your filing deadline to September 15, 2026. No Georgia-specific form is needed to activate the extension. To remit any Georgia tax due, use Form IT-303 or pay electronically through Georgia Tax Center by March 16, 2026.

Georgia offers a Pass-Through Entity Tax (PTE) election for eligible LLCs and partnerships. If your entity has elected Georgia PTE treatment, ensure the full PTE tax is paid by the March 16 original deadline to benefit from the corresponding federal deduction.

Best Practices

  • File IRS Form 7004 before March 16, 2026 to automatically extend your Georgia LLC or partnership return to September 15, 2026.
  • Pay Georgia LLC or partnership tax using Form IT-303 or through Georgia Tax Center by March 16, 2026.
  • Pay electronically through Georgia Tax Center for immediate payment confirmation and a digital record.
  • Submit your completed Georgia LLC or partnership return by September 15, 2026.

Original deadline: March 16, 2026 Extended to: September 15, 2026 Extension: 6 months automatic

Georgia S Corporation Tax Extension

Georgia S corporations file state income tax returns with the Georgia Department of Revenue. Georgia’s extension is federal-extension-driven–an approved IRS Form 7004 automatically grants a 6-month Georgia extension, pushing the S corporation filing deadline to September 15, 2026 without any additional state filings.

Original Deadline March 16, 2026
Extended Deadline September 15, 2026
S Corp Tax Due March 16 – A Georgia extension extends only your time to file. Any Georgia S corporation taxes owed must be paid by March 16, 2026 or a 5% monthly penalty begins accumulating, up to the 25% maximum.

How the Extension Works

Secure your federal extension by filing IRS Form 7004 before March 16, 2026. Georgia automatically recognizes the federal extension as a state extension. If Georgia S corporation tax is owed, use Form IT-303 to remit payment by March 16, 2026, or pay through Georgia Tax Center. No separate Georgia extension form is required when the federal extension is approved. File your completed Georgia S corporation return by September 15, 2026.

Georgia recognizes the federal S corporation election, meaning S corporation income flows through to shareholders and is taxed at the individual level. However, Georgia may require withholding on behalf of nonresident shareholders–confirm withholding obligations before the March 16, 2026 deadline.

Best Practices

  • File IRS Form 7004 before March 16, 2026 to activate Georgia’s automatic S corporation extension to September 15, 2026.
  • Remit any Georgia S corporation tax or nonresident shareholder withholding using Form IT-303 by March 16, 2026.
  • Pay through Georgia Tax Center for instant payment confirmation and a timestamped record.
  • File your completed Georgia S corporation return by September 15, 2026.

Georgia Business Tax Extension – C Corporation

Form IT-303  •  C Corporation
Original deadline: April 15, 2026 Extended to: October 15, 2026 Extension: 6 months automatic

Georgia C Corporation Tax Extension

Georgia C corporations pay corporate income tax administered by the Georgia Department of Revenue. An approved IRS Form 7004 federal extension automatically triggers a 6-month Georgia extension, moving the C corporation filing deadline from April 15 to October 15, 2026 with no separate state form required.

Original Deadline April 15, 2026
Extended Deadline October 15, 2026
Corporate Tax Due April 15 – Georgia’s extension is for filing only. Georgia corporate income tax owed must be remitted by April 15, 2026–failure to pay by this date results in a 5% monthly penalty up to 25% of the unpaid tax.

How the Extension Works

File IRS Form 7004 before April 15, 2026 to receive Georgia’s automatic 6-month corporate tax extension. Georgia does not require a separate extension form when a federal extension is in place. Use Form IT-303 to pay any Georgia corporate income tax owed by April 15, 2026, or pay through Georgia Tax Center. Mail payments to: Georgia Department of Revenue Processing Center, P.O. Box 105198, Atlanta, GA 30348-5198. Your Georgia C corporation return is then due October 15, 2026.

Georgia’s corporate income tax rate is 5.75%. Georgia requires corporations to apportion income using a single-sales-factor formula. Verify your Georgia apportionment percentage before calculating the April 15 estimated payment to avoid underpayment penalties.

Best Practices

  • File IRS Form 7004 before April 15, 2026 to automatically extend your Georgia C corporation deadline to October 15, 2026.
  • Pay Georgia corporate income tax using Form IT-303 or through Georgia Tax Center by April 15, 2026.
  • Use Georgia Tax Center for electronic payment to avoid postal delays and receive a confirmed receipt.
  • File your completed Georgia C corporation return by October 15, 2026.

Georgia Business Tax Extension – Fiduciary / Estate / Trust

Form IT-303  •  Fiduciary / Estate / Trust
Original deadline: April 15, 2026 Extended to: October 15, 2026 Extension: 6 months automatic

Georgia Fiduciary Tax Extension

Georgia estates and trusts are subject to state fiduciary income tax, administered by the Georgia Department of Revenue. An approved IRS Form 8868 federal extension automatically extends the Georgia fiduciary filing deadline by 6 months, to October 15, 2026, with no separate Georgia filing required.

Original Deadline April 15, 2026
Extended Deadline October 15, 2026
Fiduciary Tax Due April 15 – The Georgia extension extends your filing deadline but not your payment deadline. Any Georgia fiduciary income tax owed must be remitted by April 15, 2026 to avoid penalties and interest.

How the Extension Works

File IRS Form 8868 before April 15, 2026 to obtain the federal fiduciary extension. Georgia automatically honors the approved IRS extension–no separate Georgia Form IT-303 is needed if no tax is owed. If fiduciary income tax is due, pay using Form IT-303 and submit payment through Georgia Tax Center or mail to: Georgia Department of Revenue Processing Center, P.O. Box 105198, Atlanta, GA 30348-5198. File the completed Georgia fiduciary return by October 15, 2026.

Georgia fiduciary returns are filed on Form 501. If the estate or trust is distributing income to nonresident beneficiaries, Georgia may require withholding of income tax on those distributions–confirm withholding obligations with a Georgia-licensed tax professional before the April 15 deadline.

Best Practices

  • File IRS Form 8868 before April 15, 2026 to automatically extend your Georgia fiduciary return to October 15, 2026.
  • Pay any Georgia fiduciary income tax using Form IT-303 by April 15, 2026.
  • Use Georgia Tax Center for electronic payment and a timestamped confirmation record.
  • File your completed Georgia fiduciary return (Form 501) by October 15, 2026.
