NEW: Check Your Virginia Refund Status and other online services

The State of Virginia levies an income tax on all income earned by Virginia residents, whether actual or legal residents, or Virginia income earned by non-residents or part-year residents. The tax is based on the Federal Adjusted Gross Income. 

In most cases, your federal adjusted gross income (from your federal income tax return) plus any Virginia additions and minus any Virginia subtractions computed on Schedule ADJ, is called Virginia Adjusted Gross Income.  It does not include standard or itemized deductions, the child and dependent care expense deduction, or personal exemptions. See the instruction booklet, or call our office for details. Except for Part-Year residents, Virginia Adjusted Gross Income does NOT exclude income from outside of Virginia. 

More can be found at Virginia Department of Taxation on Filing Requirements and Residency Status for residents, part-year residents, non-residents, resident aliens, and also when and where to file your return.
