- **Why do I need to authorize Remitian in Georgia (GA) for Estimated Tax Payment Handling?**
  
  Georgia handles tax payments differently depending on **how** a payment is submitted. Using the wrong payment method can cause **automatic refunds of overpayments**, which may disrupt tax planning and quarterly estimate strategies.
  
  Remitian’s Georgia workflow is specifically designed to avoid these issues.
  
  ### What Remitian Does *Not* Use
  
  **Georgia “Quick Payment” Option**
  
    - The “Make a Quick Payment” option in Georgia Tax Center (GTC) **does not support estimated payments properly.**
    - Payments made this way may be **automatically refunded**, even when an overpayment should be applied to a future tax year.
    - This behavior occurs regardless of how the payment is designated on the tax return.
  
  Because of this risk, Remitian does **not** use the Quick Payment flow.
  
  ### The **Correct Method** Remitian Processes GA Payments
  
  **Third Party Filer Submission via GTC**
  
    - Remitian is registered with Georgia as a **Third-Party Filer.**
    - Payments are submitted **on behalf of the taxpayer;** the same way a CPA or taxpayer would submit them directly inside GTC.
    - Payments are explicitly classified as: 
          - **Estimated Payments**
          - **For the correct tax year**
  
  This is currently the **only supported method in Georgia** to reliably submit estimated payments without triggering automatic refunds.
  
  ### Client Authorization – Simple Explanation
  
  Clients **do not** share Georgia Tax Center usernames or passwords with Remitian.
  
  Instead:
  
    1. **Client has (or creates) a GTC account** 
           - Required for Georgia estimated payments
    2. **Client approves payments inside Remitian** 
           - Approval is payment-specific
           - Client remains in control at all times
    3. **Remitian submits the payment as a Third Party Filer** 
           - Georgia treats the payment as if the client or CPA submitted it directly
           - Payment is applied correctly as an estimated payment
