Based on the information from the Georgia Department of Revenue and recent news updates:

• The Georgia gas tax refund is part of a special surplus tax refund authorized by the state for 2025.
• Eligibility requires filing Georgia state income tax returns for both 2023 and 2024 by the May 1, 2025 deadline.
• Refund amounts are: $250 for singles or married filing separately, $375 for heads of household, and $500 for married filing jointly.
• Refunds started being issued in June 2025, with most eligible taxpayers who filed on time expected to receive their payments by early August 2025.
• Refunds are sent either by direct deposit or paper check, depending on the taxpayer's filing preferences.
• The label on refund payments will read as "GASTTAXRFD," which stands for Georgia State Tax Refund.
• It is advised to allow 6 to 8 weeks after filing by the deadline for processing and issuance of refunds.
• Taxpayers can check their refund status online using the Georgia Department of Revenue's Surplus Tax Refund tool with their Social Security number or taxpayer identification and federal adjusted gross income.

In summary, if the Georgia gas tax refund is being referred to as part of this surplus tax refund program and the taxpayer filed their 2023 and 2024 returns on time, they should receive their refund by early August 2025, with some already having received it starting from June 2025.
