Not every taxpayer is eligible. If you had a tax liability last year, you will receive up to $250 if you filed individually, and up to $500 if you filed jointly
Tax liability is the amount of tax you owe throughout the year minus any credits (like the credit for taxes you paid to another state or the credit for low income individuals), deductions, or subtractions. We’re unable to provide taxpayer-specific information about eligibility at this time.
We won’t start issuing tax rebates until fall 2022
If you're eligible and filed by July 1, we’ll send your rebate by October 17, which means you should receive it by October 31.
You must file your taxes by November 1 to receive the rebate. See Individual Income Tax Filing for your filing options.
Some taxpayers will receive the rebate by direct deposit and some will receive a paper check
If you received a refund by direct deposit this year, you’ll likely receive your rebate by direct deposit in the same bank account, with the description “VATXREBATE”. All other eligible taxpayers will receive their rebate by paper check in the mail.
Make sure your mailing address is up-to-date
See How to Change Your Name, Address, or Social Security Number for more information, and be sure to make those changes by August 15.
When you complete your registration online, you’ll immediately receive your Virginia Tax account number for each tax type, your sales tax certificate of registration (if you registered to collect retail sales or use tax), and documents to help you with your next steps (what returns you need to file, when to file, etc.). You also are automatically enrolled in a business online services account where you’ll be able to file and pay taxes, send us emails, and manage your Virginia Tax account in the future.
