Question: I have a unity gain differential op amp, using a grounded dual supply, with both inputs AC coupled.

Does the inverting input need a dedicated path to ground or can the DC bias current find its way to ground via the power supply?

I've searched around and haven't been able to find much regarding this particular configuration. Most of the information I've found talks about single supplies and/or op amps with only one input AC coupled.

If it matters, the op-amp I'll be using is a TL07X.

If the bias current is (say) 10 nA then that flows through R3 and creates a DC error at the input to the device of 470 μV. That will also appear at the output because the DC gain of your circuit is unity due to using input capacitors.

However, because you have a net resistance of 47 kΩ in the non-inverting input, the effect of this bias-induced offset voltage is much reduced (see offset current below).

You should also ideally consider the offset current (usually about ten times lower on this type of op-amp than bias current). This adds another 10% worst case to the numbers above.

But, those offsets all pale to insignificance given the typical input offset voltage (3 mV) that a TL07x produces.
You're fine, the inverting input has a path for bias current through the feedback resistor, and of course the non-inverting input has the resistor to ground.

Both inputs have a dc path to ground, which is the important consideration.
