Things to know about the Tax Relief Refund

  • The additional refund is a result of legislation passed by the 2019 General Assembly to give revenue generated from federal tax changes back to Virginia taxpayers.
  • The refund amount is up to $110 for an individual, and $220 for married couples who filed jointly.
  • The refund cannot exceed your tax liability for the 2018 tax year. 
  • Checks will be mailed by October 15, 2019. 
  • If you owe Virginia state taxes for 2018 or for any previous tax years, Virginia Tax will withhold all or part of the refund and apply it to your tax bills, and 
  • If you owe money to Virginia local governments, courts, other state agencies or the IRS, Virginia Tax will withhold all or part of the refund to help pay these debts.
