• Do you owe Georgia state taxes? If so, you can take advantage of the department’s Voluntary Disclosure Agreement (VDA). The VDA program encourages taxpayers who have unfiled or underreported tax liabilities and haven’t yet been contacted by the department to voluntarily come forward. Qualified taxpayers have the opportunity to receive a waiver of all penalties and a limit of the length of time they must disclose and pay previous liabilities. This length of time, called the “look-back period,” generally is three years, depending on your particular circumstances. Learn more about the VDA here: https://bit.ly/2y43xor
