1.  Do I have to file a return?

Answer - Complete Form 760, lines 1 through 9, to determine your Virginia adjusted gross income (VAGI). You must file if you are: 

Single and your VAGI is $5000 or more

Married filing jointly and combined VAGI is $8000 or more

Married filing separately and your VAGI is $4000

2.  I worked at Virginia Tech this past year and made $12,900. I earned $45,000 from  Celanese. Am I eligible for the Federal and State Employees Credit?

Answer -  Yes, you do qualify for this credit. Being that you worked for a state or federal agency and your total income from this agency was less than $15,000, you qualify for the credit. The Celanese income does not figure in with this amount being that it is not a state or federal agency. If your spouse worked for a state or federal agency, they can also take the credit  if their total income from this agency was less than $15,000. Husbands and wives are treated separately on this matter. (Note- if you worked for more than one state or federal agency, you must combine your income from all agencies. The total amount can't be more than $15,000.) If you qualify for this credit, enter the code 39 on line 6 of the Form 760-ADJ. This amount is also entered on line 7 of Form 760, where it is subtracted from the amount on line 3.

3.  I live in West Virginia, but work in Virginia and drive back and forth to work everyday. My employer took out Virginia withholdings. Which state form do I file to get back my Virginia withholdings?

Answer - You would file a 763-S form in order to get back your Virginia withholdings. You need to attach all W-2's showing Virginia withholdings and a copy of your West Virginia return.

4.  Is there an easier way to figure the Spouse Tax Credit?

Answer - Yes, there is. Just go online at www.tax.state.va.us . This pulls up the Department of Taxation website. 

  • Click on Individuals

  • Click on Tax Calculators

  • Click on Spouse Tax Adjustment Calculator

  • Enter your information on the form provided. It will calculate the amount for you.

5.  For Balance Due returns and Estimated Payments, to whom do I make the check out to?

Answer - Checks should be made out to the Department of Taxation or to the Treasurer of Giles County.

6.  Is Unemployment Compensation income taxable on my state tax return?

Answer -  No, your Unemployment Compensation income is not taxable on your state tax return, however, you must include this amount on line 1 with your Federal Adjusted Gross Income. You can deduct all of this income by entering the code 37 and the amount of Unemployment Compensation income on line 6 of the Form 760-ADJ. This amount is also entered on line 7 of Form 760, where it is subtracted from the amount on line 3.

7.  What is the due date for filing your state tax return?

Answer - The due date for filing your Virginia state tax return is May 1st

8.  What are the due dates for filing your state estimated payments?

3rd Payment - September 15th

4th Payment - January 1st of the following year
