GEORGIA (WALB) - Governor Brian Kemp announced that Georgia has started issuing one-time tax refunds, totaling more than $1 billion for taxpayers.

Most eligible residents who filed both 2024 and 2025 returns can expect their money within the next few weeks.

Refunds are capped at $250 for single filers, $375 for heads of household, and $500 for married couples filing jointly.

To qualify, taxpayers must have filed both returns, paid state income taxes, and not owe the Department of Revenue.
