Subject 560-7-8 - RETURNS AND COLLECTIONS
Rule 560-7-8-.04 - Corporation Returns

Every corporation not expressly exempt from taxation must make a return of income regardless of the amount of its income. Ordinary corporations make their return on Form No. 600. Electing small business corporations under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code, although exempt from Georgia income tax, make their return on Form No. 600-S. Copies of corporate returns will, so far as possible, be furnished taxpayers. The corporation, however, will not be excused from making a return because no return form has been furnished to it. Each corporation should carefully prepare its return so as to fully and dearly set forth the data called for therein. Imperfect or incorrect returns will not be accepted as meeting the requirements of the law. A corporation in existence during any portion of a taxable year is required to make a return. A corporation which has received a charter, but which has never perfected its organization, has transacted no business and has had no income from any source may, upon presentation of these facts to the Commissioner, be relieved from the necessity of making an income tax return so long as it remains in an unorganized condition. In the absence of a proper showing to the Commissioner, such a corporation will be required to make a return.
