Virginia Tax reminds residents that the individual income tax filing and payment deadline is Thursday, May 1. The agency recommends filing electronically for faster refunds, processed in about four weeks compared to eight weeks for mailed returns. No penalties or interest are applied if filing and full payment are made by the May 1 deadline. An automatic six-month filing extension is available, but taxes must be paid by the original deadline to avoid additional penalties and interest. Information, free online filing options for qualified individuals, and various payment methods are available on the Virginia Tax website. Tax relief is offered for taxpayers affected by Hurricane Helene or the February 2025 flooding and winter storms in Southwest Virginia. Taxpayers can track returns or refunds using online accounts or the Where’s My Refund application on the Virginia Tax website.
