Due to computer equipment that overheated on Sunday afternoon which activated a sprinkler system and resulted in flooding on four lower floors, the Department of Revenue headquarters building experienced a computer system outage which disabled online systems and halted ground floor customer service operation on Monday.

Following is the status of certain DOR online tax systems as of Tuesday afternoon:

Georgia Registration Tag and Title System (GRATIS):

– Taxpayers cannot renew their annual tag registration online from a personal computer.

– GRATIS is fully functional, however, at the DOR’s Tradeport Processing Center and at all County Tag Offices throughout the state.

Alcohol Liquor Licenses:

– The Department will issue temporary liquor licenses that will be valid through June 30.  DOR staff at 1800 Century Boulevard are available to process liquor license applications and receive payments.

Tax Payments for Online E-File/E-Pay, Refund Inquiry, and General Inquiries:

– Tax payments for online e-file/e-pay can be mailed to the Department or delivered to any DOR Regional Office.  Taxpayers who make a diligent effort to pay timely will not be assessed a penalty.

I’ll post updates here as I receive them.
