Stimulus update: Deadline to file taxes for rebate of up to $400 in Virginia in 14 days

Residents of the Commonwealth of Virginia have 14 days to file their 2022 state income taxes in order to be eligible for a tax rebate of up to $400.

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

The Virginia Department of Taxation said 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 at a later date.

The tax 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 are among those who will be eligible.

This 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 statement 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 in a statement.

“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.
