The Late Filing penalty is 5% of the tax due. Moreover, the DOR will assess an additional 5% for each extra month the return is late, up to a maximum of 25% of the tax due.
You may owe a late-filing penalty. The IRS can hit you with a late-filing penalty of 5% of the amount due for every month or partial month your tax return is late, up to 25% of the amount due.
We give you an automatic 6-month extension to file your return. You must file by the deadline to avoid a late filing penalty.
You do NOT need to request an extension to file your Georgia return if you receive a Federal extension. The due date for filing your Georgia return will be automatically extended with an approved Federal extension.

It is a “defined benefit” plan (a pension-type program). Normal retirement age for TRS benefits is 60 with at least 10 years of service. If you have at least 30 years of service, you can retire regardless of age. Reduced benefits are available if you have at least 25 years of service and opt to take “early retirement.”
Defined Benefit (DB) Plan Provides a pension benefit formula of 1% x years of service x highest average salary (30 years = approximately 29% of salary as a monthly benefit). Vesting for the DB plan is 10 years.
You have an automatic six-month extension to file your Georgia return when you receive an extension to file your federal return. When you file your Georgia return, you'll need to attach a copy of your federal extension. An extension to file does not extend the date for paying the tax.
