What is the threshold for e-filing W-2s in Georgia?

Employers reporting 250 or more W-2s must submit them electronically. If you are required to pay the Georgia withholding electroncially, you must file the G-1003 and W-2s electronically.

When are my W-2s due to the state?

W-2s are due on the last day of February.

Now that I have created my W-2 file, how do I submit it to Georgia?

Submit your files through the Georgia Tax Center (GTC) Information Site. Georgia provides a tutorial on how to upload your W-2s.To access the tutorial, click here.

If you do not already have a login for GTC, follow the prompts on the website to create one. Follow the prompts on the website to submit your W-2s. QuickBooks creates a file in the EFW2 format for uploading the state W-2s.

DO NOT upload the Excel worksheet to the state. The  most common mistake people make when using this feature is to attempt to upload the worksheet rather than the .txt file created using the worksheet.  Note the name and location of the file you created as you work through the process.

Do I need to file an annual reconciliation or transmittal with my W-2s?

If you upload your W-2s, you must also upload the annual G-1003. Click here to see the tutorial on the Georgia website for how to create the CSV file for upload.
