Key facts

  • Georgia splits paper Form 500 returns by address: return with payment (amount owed) vs. return without payment (refund expected) — mailing to the wrong one can delay processing.
  • Make checks or money orders payable to the "Georgia Department of Revenue".
  • If you owe a balance, include Payment Voucher 525-TV and staple the payment to the voucher, not the return.
  • A mailed return is generally considered filed on time if it is postmarked by the state filing deadline — sign and date it, since an unsigned return isn't considered filed.
  • PostPal prints your return and hands it to USPS the next business day for $5 — no printer, envelope, or trip to the post office.

Common questions

Where do I mail my Georgia state tax return?

It depends on whether you're enclosing a payment. For "return with payment (amount owed)," mail it to Georgia Department of Revenue, PO Box 740399, Atlanta, GA 30374-0399. For "return without payment (refund expected)," mail it to Georgia Department of Revenue, PO Box 740380, Atlanta, GA 30374-0380.

Does it matter which Georgia address I use?

Yes. Georgia Department of Revenue routes paper returns by mail code, so sending a payment return to the no-payment address (or vice versa) can delay processing, even though the state and ZIP still get it to the right building.

What do I make my check payable to?

The "Georgia Department of Revenue". Write your Social Security number and the tax year on the check or money order.

Is a mailed Georgia return considered on time if it's postmarked by the deadline?

Generally yes — most states, including Georgia, treat a return as timely filed if it carries a USPS postmark on or before the filing deadline. Keep proof of mailing for your records; PostPal emails you a dated confirmation.

Can PostPal mail my Georgia tax return for me?

Yes. Upload your completed, signed Form 500 and PostPal prints it and mails it to Georgia Department of Revenue, PO Box 740399, Atlanta, GA 30374-0399 (or your correct address, based on your situation) the next business day for $5, with a dated Confirmation of Mailing.
