Paying Estimated State Taxes in Georgia

Most individuals file their state and federal taxes at the same time. When you have an employer, who withholds both state and federal taxes, it is easy to think tax payments go to the same place, and the calculations are the same. The differences between federal and state taxes become more apparent when you must submit your estimated payments to your state of residence and the IRS.  

When residents of the state of Georgia make estimated tax payments, those payments have to be made to both the IRS and the Georgia Department of Revenue. I have already done an article on how to make your estimated federal taxes (CLICK HERE). This article will focus on how to submit your state estimated taxes to the Georgia Department of Revenue if you are a single-member Limited Liability Company.

The Georgia Department of Revenue has adopted a website called Georgia Tax Center (GTC).
