About Georgia Form IT-303
Georgia Form IT-303 is used to request additional time to file a state income tax return. Individuals who need a Georgia extension but do not have a federal extension can use it to request up to six more months to file Form 500. The application asks for the tax period, requested extension date, and reason additional time is needed.
The PDF contains two pages, with instructions on page 1 and the application on page 2. It also serves partnerships, fiduciaries, and corporations, so select the appropriate return type and follow its specific rules. For individual filing guidance, review the IT-511 instruction booklet.
If you receive a federal filing extension, Georgia generally accepts it without a separate IT-303 request. File your Georgia return within the federal extension period and attach a copy of Federal Form 4868 or the IRS confirmation letter.
An extension to file does not extend the time to pay tax. Form IT-303 is not a payment voucher. Individuals and fiduciaries use Form IT-560 for an extension payment. Sending a payment with IT-560 does not by itself extend your filing deadline.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Here are answers to common questions about downloading, printing, completing, and filing 2025 Georgia Form IT-303.
When should I submit Form IT-303 for my 2025 return?
Mail the application before the original return due date. For most 2025 calendar-year individual returns, that due date is April 15, 2026. A six-month extension allows filing through October 15, 2026, but any tax remains due by the original payment deadline.
Do I need Form IT-303 if I have a federal extension?
No separate Georgia application is needed if you receive a federal filing extension and meet Georgia's conditions. Submit your Georgia return within the federal extension period and attach a copy of Federal Form 4868 or the IRS confirmation letter for an electronic extension. Use IT-303 if you need more time for Georgia but do not need a federal extension.
What is the difference between Form IT-303 and Form IT-560?
Form IT-303 requests more time to file, while Form IT-560 accompanies an individual or fiduciary extension payment. An approved filing extension does not postpone the tax payment deadline. Likewise, sending an IT-560 payment does not replace a required extension request.
Where do I mail Form IT-303, and how many copies do I need?
Prepare three copies of the completed form. Mail the original to the Georgia Department of Revenue Processing Center, P.O. Box 740320, Atlanta, GA 30374-0320. Attach one copy to your return when filed and keep the remaining copy for your records. Spouses filing separate returns must submit separate applications.
Mail the IT-303 application separately from any IT-560 payment voucher and check, because they go to different addresses.
Will Georgia send an approval notice for my extension?
The form states that the Department will notify you only if your extension request is denied. Keep your copy of the completed application with your tax records. Follow the requested filing date and pay any tax by its original due date.
Are the Form IT-303 instructions included in this PDF?
Yes. The first page explains how to request an extension, prepare copies, submit the application, and handle any payment separately. The second page contains the application and signature section. Different limits apply to some return types, so follow the instructions for the return you select.
