About Georgia Form 500-ES
Georgia Form 500-ES is used by individuals and fiduciaries to make estimated state income tax payments. These quarterly payments cover income tax that is not paid through withholding. They do not replace the annual income tax return. When you complete your annual Georgia income tax forms, you will reconcile your estimated payments and tax withheld with your total tax liability to determine any remaining tax due or refund.
The 2026 PDF contains two pages with a payment-entry worksheet, estimated tax instructions, and a detachable voucher. Enter the tax year, due date, and payment amount in the worksheet to prepare the voucher. Keep the worksheet for your records.
Use Form 500-ES for estimated payments, Form 525-TV for payments with a return, and Form IT-560 for extension payments. These vouchers serve different purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Here are answers to common questions about downloading, printing, completing, and filing 2026 Georgia Form 500-ES.
When are 2026 Georgia estimated tax payments due?
For many taxpayers, Georgia estimated tax payments are made in four quarterly installments. The regular calendar-year installment dates are April 15, 2026, June 15, 2026, September 15, 2026, and January 15, 2027. Different schedules can apply to fiscal-year filers and taxpayers who first need to pay later in the year.
Are Georgia estimated tax payments always quarterly?
No. Many taxpayers make four installments, but you may pay your full estimated tax by the first required installment date. You may also need fewer payments if you receive a one-time bonus, taxable retirement distribution, or other income later in the year and too little Georgia tax is withheld. Whether an estimated payment is required depends on your overall income, withholding, and applicable exceptions. Follow the Form 500-ES instructions to determine when your payments must begin.
Who needs to use Georgia Form 500-ES?
Individuals and fiduciaries with income not subject to withholding may need estimated payments. Review the filing requirements and exceptions on page 2, including rules for additional withholding, farmers, fishermen, estates, and trusts.
How do I complete and print Form 500-ES?
Georgia recommends downloading the PDF and completing it in Adobe Reader. Follow the worksheet instructions and use the PDF's Print button to prepare your payment voucher.
Can I pay Georgia estimated taxes online?
Yes. You can make estimated payments through the Georgia Tax Center (GTC). The Department of Revenue's estimated payment instructions explain how to select the account, payment type, period, and amount after signing in. That page also provides account setup guidance if you do not have a GTC login.
Where do I mail Georgia Form 500-ES?
Mail the voucher and payment to the Georgia Department of Revenue, P.O. Box 740319, Atlanta, GA 30374-0319. Make your check or money order payable to the Georgia Department of Revenue. Confirm the address matches what is printed on your voucher before mailing.
