Stimulus update: Deadline to file taxes for rebate of up to $400 in Virginia in 15 days

Virginia residents have 15 days to get their 2022 state income taxes filed to qualify for a tax rebate of up to $400.

The Nov. 1 deadline is the extension date granted to taxpayers who did not file their state taxes by the regular May 1 deadline in Virginia. To qualify for the tax rebate in the Old Dominion, residents must file within the coming weeks.

The rebates will be worth up to $200 for individual filers and up to $400 for joint filers, according to the state. While Virginia officials have said not all taxpayers in the state will be eligible for the rebate, they did say that those with a tax liability are among those who will be eligible.

The latest round of tax rebates was approved as part of Virginia’s annual budget, which Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-VA) signed into law in September. This set of tax rebates comes a year after Virginians received tax rebates of up to $500 in 2022. The governor reminded residents to file their taxes by the Nov. 1 deadline to receive their tax rebate in a press release last week.

“As Virginians continue to face inflation and high prices as a direct result of policies out of Washington, D.C., these rebates are an important step going into the holiday season to help Virginians keep more of their hard-earned money for gas, groceries, and essentials,” Youngkin said.

“My administration has delivered over $5 billion in tax relief to Virginians, and we remain committed to lowering the cost of living for working families and veterans across Virginia. It’s their money, not the government’s,” he added.

The timetable for when the tax rebates will be issued to residents, as well as taxpayer-specific eligibility information, is unavailable but will be announced later, per the Virginia Department of Taxation.
