Virginia Tax has announced that tax filing season in Virginia is now under way. Taxpayers are now able to file their individual income tax returns.
“We strongly encourage you to file electronically,” said Tax Commissioner Craig M. Burns. “It’s the faster, safer option. We also recommend that you request your refund, if you have one coming, via direct deposit.”
Virginia Tax takes refund fraud seriously and encourages you to do the same. Its automated system reviews returns for suspicious activity or possible fraud, then employees manually evaluate the returns selected for review. Filing early helps ensure the fastest possible refund if your return is selected for review.
