State Filing Requirements

Georgia State Requires the following Forms:

Form 1099-MISC

Miscellaneous Information

If you withheld Georgia income tax from a payment, you’ll need to file directly with the Department of Revenue. 2026TY payments, such as rents, prizes, awards, medical and health care payments, and crop insurance proceeds, have a $2,000 federal reporting threshold. But report the fishing boat proceeds no matter the amount.

Form 1099-NEC

Nonemployee compensation

If you withheld Georgia income tax, then you must file directly with the DOR. You also need to submit Form G-1003 (Withholding Income Statement Transmittal). If no tax gets withheld, Georgia participates in CF/SF program, and separate state filing is not required. For 2026TY, the federal threshold for nonemployee compensation and attorney fees is $2,000.

Form 1099-K

Payment Card and Third-Party Network Transactions

Georgia wants 1099-K information whether or not you withheld state income tax. For payees with no state withholding, CF/SF may satisfy the state filing requirement. But if you withheld state tax, you’ll need to file directly with the Georgia Department of Revenue (DOR). Report all payment card transactions, regardless of dollar amount.

Form 1099-B

Broker & Barter Exchange Transactions

If you withhold Georgia state income tax on broker, barter-exchange, securities, futures, commodity, or redemption transactions, file directly with the DOR. But if there’s no withholding and your return is eligible, you can use the CFSF Program instead.

Form 1099-R

Distributions From Pensions and Retirement Plans

In case of state income tax withholding from distributions, file directly with GA DOR. For 2026TY, federal reporting usually kicks in for distributions of $10 or more from pensions, annuities, retirement or profit-sharing plans, IRAs and insurance contracts.

Form 1099-INT

Interest Income

If you withheld Georgia state income tax on interest income, then file directly with the DOR. For 2026TY, federal reporting usually applies to interest income of $10 or more but in some trade or business cases, the threshold is $600.

Form W-2G

Certain Gambling Winnings

Form W-2G isn’t eligible for CFSF. If you withheld Georgia income tax from gambling winnings, you must file W-2G directly with the DOR and include those statements in your Form G-1003 reconciliation.

Georgia participates in the IRS CFSF Program. Use CF/SF only for eligible non-wage statements with no GA tax withholding. Any statement showing Georgia withholding must be filed directly with the DOR and reconciled using Form G-1003.

You’ll need to submit Form 1099-K to Georgia even if there’s no state withholding. You can use either the eligible CFSF or direct filing method to meet this requirement.

If you’re eFiling, make sure that you submit Form G-1003 and the related income statements using the same method.

You must eFile with GA if any of these apply:

  • You're federally required to eFile (when there are 10 or more information returns in total)
  • You pay GA withholding by electronic funds transfer (whether required or by choice)
  • Another GA eFiling rule applies

If you’re filing on paper, include Form G-1003 with your statements and mail everything to this address: Georgia Department of Revenue, Processing Center, P.O. Box 105685, Atlanta, GA 30348-5685.

State Filing Corrections Pricing:

Form type Filing method Pricing
GA 1099 corrections Electronic Filing $1.29 per form
GA W-2C corrections Electronic Filing $1.29 per form

Note: Corrected income statements follow the same GA filing criteria as the original statements. Include an amended Form G-1003 along with the corrected filing. If the correction changes the Georgia withholding amount, you must also amend the applicable Form G-7 withholding return.

OBBBA update

OBBBA and Its Effect on Georgia State

Georgia generally conforms to the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), i.e., it’s a static conformity state. This means federal tax law changes may affect Georgia tax calculations only to the extent the state conforms to those provisions.

Georgia doesn’t fully adopt the federal tax breaks for qualified tips and overtime pay. Instead, the state offers its own limited exemptions up to $1,750 for qualified cash tips and another $1,750 for qualified overtime compensation (if you meet the state’s requirements). As a payer, you must report the full qualifying amounts and not reduce your income statement reporting by these adjustments. Eligible individuals can claim these state adjustments on their GA returns.

For your 2026 year-end filing, make sure to report qualified cash tips and overtime compensation as part of your GA submission with Form G-1003. Use Boxes 1b, 1c, and 1d on Form 1099-NEC and Boxes 13a, 13b and 14 on Form 1099-MISC as applicable.

OBBBA has raised the federal reporting threshold for 1099-NEC nonemployee compensation and some 1099-MISC payments to $2,000 for 2026TY. For 1099-K, card transactions are reportable at any amount, but TPSOs only need to report once gross payments go over $20,000 and there are more than 200 transactions.

Keep in mind that federal thresholds decide when a federal form is generally required but Georgia has its own rules for state filing. If Georgia withholding is shown, you must file directly with the state even if the payment falls below the federal threshold. And 1099-K is the one exception Georgia wants reported regardless of withholding.

FAQs

GA generally requires direct filing of non-wage information returns when state income tax was withheld. Common forms include 1099-MISC, 1099-NEC, 1099-B, 1099-R and 1099-INT. But Form 1099-K information is needed even when no GA tax is withheld. And Form W-2G is filed directly when GA withholding applies.

File directly when there’s GA withholding and include it with Form G-1003. 1099-K must reach Georgia regardless of withholding. However, an eligible federal filing through CFSF can cover that requirement.

Yes, for eligible non-wage statements with no GA withholding. If withholding is shown, CFSF doesn't apply. File directly with GA and reconcile using Form G-1003.

eFiling is required if you're federally required to eFile 10 or more returns, if you remit Georgia withholding by electronic funds transfer, or if another state eFiling rule applies. Form G-1003 must use the same method as the related statements. If no eFiling mandate applies, you can mail paper filings with Form G-1003.

Form W-2 and 1099-NEC are due by Feb 1, 2027. All other direct-filed 1099s, including 1099-K, are due by March 1, 2027. Also, submit Form G-1003 with your direct filing batch. And if the business closes, statements and reconciliation are due within 30 days of the final payment.

Yes. It's Georgia's annual withholding reconciliation and must accompany direct-filed W-2 and 1099 statements, using the same filing method. Use an amended G-1003 for corrections, and amend Form G-7 too if the correction changes GA withholding.

For 2026 payments, the federal threshold is $2,000 or more for nonemployee compensation and attorney fees. A return is also required at any amount if federal backup withholding applied. GA direct filing is required whenever state withholding is reported, even below the federal threshold.

Yes, generally. GA conforms to federal tax law enacted on or before January 1, 2026, which covers OBBBA. However, GA decouples from the full federal exclusions for qualified tips and overtime and applies limited individual-return adjustments of up to $1,750 for each category when the requirements are met. Payers must report full amounts without reducing them, and include this 1099 data with Form G-1003 when Georgia filing applies.
