Stimulus update: Deadline to file taxes for rebate of up to $400 in Virginia in 10 days

Residents in the commonwealth of Virginia have 10 days to file their 2022 state income taxes in order to be eligible for an upcoming tax rebate offering up to $400.

To qualify for the tax rebate in the Old Dominion, residents must file by the Nov. 1 extended deadline granted to taxpayers in the state. The regular deadline to file Virginia state income tax is May 1.

The state says the rebates will be worth up to $200 for individual filers and up to $400 for joint filers. Not all taxpayers in the state will be eligible for the rebate, but those with a tax liability will be among those who will be eligible, per the state.

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, according to the Virginia Department of Taxation.

The tax rebate 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.
