2025 Georgia State Tax Refund Delays - Anyone Received Theirs Yet?
Filed my Georgia state return back in February and still nothing. The tax portal just shows processing. Anyone else seeing movement on their GA state refund or am I just rowing this boat alone?

GA state is notorious for being slow. They're currently processing returns filed in early February. You can check their website for processing times - they update it every Thursday. Average wait time is about 8-12 weeks right now due to increased fraud prevention measures.

•Yeah unfortunately. They've really stepped up verification this year after that huge fraud ring they busted in Atlanta

Hey guys instead of playing the waiting game, I found this tool called taxr.ai that helped me understand exactly what was going on with my refund. It costs a buck but its worth every penny https://taxr.ai

•Works for both! It actually caught something in my state return that wouldve delayed it even longer

Pro tip: if you're really worried, try calling first thing Tuesday morning. Their phone lines are less busy then and you might actually get through to someone

Filed mine Feb 15th and still waiting too. Called the GA DOR yesterday and they said they're experiencing "unprecedented volume" this year. The rep told me to expect at least 10-12 weeks from filing date. Apparently they're doing extra verification on a lot of returns. Hang in there!

•Thanks for calling and getting an update! 10-12 weeks is rough but at least we know what to expect. The "unprecedented volume" excuse seems to be everyone's go-to this year 😅

Filed my GA return on Feb 12th and still waiting too. Been checking the "Where's My Refund" tool daily like it's going to magically change overnight 😂 At this point I'm just hoping it arrives before I need to file next year's taxes. The extra verification makes sense given all the fraud issues, but man it's frustrating when you're counting on that money!
