Even though Georgia offers a centralized portal for managing state tax obligations, the process can still be confusing and time-consuming. Between outdated interfaces, multiple logins, and tedious data entry, filing your state taxes can feel like a full-time job, especially for small business owners, landlords, or freelancers.

If you’re responsible for any tax filing in Georgia, here’s what the traditional process looks like, and how Remitian helps you skip the hassle.

The Traditional Way: Paying Georgia Taxes Manually

Georgia taxpayers typically manage several types of taxes, such as:

• Sales and Use Tax

• Withholding (Payroll) Tax

• Corporate Income or Net Worth Tax

• Individual Income Tax (if you’re a sole proprietor)

All of these are managed through the Georgia Tax Center (GTC), the state’s official tax portal. While it brings everything under one roof, the interface hasn’t kept up with modern expectations.

1. Go to the Georgia Tax Center

The GTC is the main portal for managing business and individual tax accounts in Georgia, including filing returns, making payments, and viewing balances.

2. Log In or Reset Credentials

Like many state-run portals, the GTC often requires users to reset passwords or recover usernames after extended periods of inactivity. This can lead to frustrating delays when you’re on a deadline.

3. Choose the Correct Tax Type

From the dashboard, you’ll need to select the appropriate tax account:

• Sales and Use Tax

• Withholding Tax

• Corporate Income or Net Worth

• Individual Income Tax

If you manage more than one entity or have multiple tax accounts, it’s easy to get lost or make mistakes during selection.

4. Manually Enter All Tax Info

Be prepared to input:

• Georgia Tax ID (or SSN/FEIN)

• Filing period

• Payment amount

• Bank account or credit card details

There’s no smart memory, so each quarter or payment cycle, you’re repeating the same data entry steps again and again.

5. Save or Print Your Confirmation

After payment, the GTC offers a confirmation number, but it’s up to you to screenshot, print, or email it. If you forget, retrieving past records can be unnecessarily complex.
