2025 Georgia Income Tax Forms
Printable GA State Tax Forms, Schedules, and Instructions
If you are preparing a Georgia income tax return for the first time, start by identifying your residency status. Full-year residents, part-year residents, and nonresidents all use Form 500. Your residency status determines how you complete the return and which income you report to Georgia. Part-year residents and nonresidents also complete Schedule 3, which is included in the Form 500 PDF.
Below you will find the most common 2025 Georgia income tax forms, schedules, and instructions grouped by residency type. Each residency group begins with Form 500 and the IT-511 instruction booklet. Review the booklet if you are not sure which residency status applies to you or whether you need to file a Georgia return. Forms for estimated tax, extensions, payments, amended returns, and net operating loss adjustments are listed under Other Forms.
2025 Full-Year Georgia Resident Tax Forms
You are generally a full-year Georgia resident if Georgia was your permanent legal residence for the entire tax year. A temporary absence from the state does not necessarily change your residency. Full-year residents begin with Form 500 and the IT-511 instructions. Georgia generally taxes residents on income from all sources, including income earned outside the state.
The Form 500 packet includes schedules and individual credit forms that you may need to complete with your return. The IT-511 booklet explains the return line by line and includes tax calculation guidance, worksheets, and filing instructions. Form 500EZ is available for 2024 and 2023 returns only. Georgia discontinued it beginning with tax year 2025.
| Form Code | Form Name |
|---|---|
| Form 500 | Individual Income Tax Return (includes schedules and credit forms) |
| IT-511 Instructions | Georgia Individual Income Tax Forms and Instructions |
| Form 500EZ | Short Individual Income Tax Return (2024 and 2023) |
2025 Part-Year Georgia Resident Tax Forms
You are generally a part-year Georgia resident if you moved into or out of Georgia during the tax year and changed your permanent legal residence. Part-year residents begin with Form 500, Schedule 3, and the IT-511 instructions. Schedule 3 separates income taxable to Georgia from income that is not taxable to the state.
Schedule 3 begins on PDF page 11 of the 2025 Form 500 packet, so you do not need a separate download. Follow the part-year resident instructions in IT-511 to report income for your resident and nonresident periods and calculate your Georgia deductions and exemptions. The instructions will also identify any additional schedules or credit forms you need.
| Form Code | Form Name |
|---|---|
| Form 500 | Individual Income Tax Return (includes Schedule 3 for part-year residents) |
| IT-511 Instructions | Georgia Individual Income Tax Forms and Instructions (includes part-year resident instructions) |
2025 Georgia Nonresident Tax Forms
You are generally a Georgia nonresident if you were a legal resident of another state throughout the tax year. You may need to file a Georgia return if you worked in Georgia or received income from Georgia sources, such as rental income or income from a business operating in the state. Nonresidents who need to file begin with Form 500, Schedule 3, and the IT-511 instructions.
Use Schedule 3, included in the Form 500 packet, to calculate the income taxable to Georgia. Review the nonresident filing requirements in IT-511 before completing your return. Special rules and exceptions may apply, including rules for certain employees and military families.
| Form Code | Form Name |
|---|---|
| Form 500 | Individual Income Tax Return (includes Schedule 3 for nonresidents) |
| IT-511 Instructions | Georgia Individual Income Tax Forms and Instructions (includes nonresident instructions) |
