Businesses operating in Georgia (Corporations, Partnerships, S-Corporations, and fiduciaries) are NOT required to file a separate Business Tax extension form if having an approved federal business income tax extension.
If your federal extension was rejected or you didn’t apply for a federal extension, you can file a separate Georgia business tax extension Form by the deadline of your original return to get an extension of time to file the Georgia business income tax return.
Extension Form to use
Form IT-303, Application for Extension of Time for Filing State Income Tax Returns.
