The 2022 Virginia General Assembly passed a law earlier this year giving taxpayers with a liability a rebate of up to $250 for individual filers and up to $500 for joint filers.
Virginia will send eligible taxpayers a one-time rebate of up to $250 for individuals and up to $500 for joint filers. You are eligible if:
- You have a tax liability in Virginia, and
- You filed your 2021 return by November 1, 2022.
If you received a tax refund by direct deposit this year, you’ll likely receive your rebate by direct deposit as well. Otherwise, we’ll mail you a paper check. If you’re eligible and filed by September 5, the state will send your rebate by October 17, which means you should receive it by October 31.
From the Virginia.gov website:
“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 “VA DEPT TAXATION VATXREBATE.” All other eligible taxpayers will receive their rebate by paper check in the mail.
- If you’ve moved in the last year and have a current forwarding order with the USPS, then your check will be forwarded to your new address.
- We’re not able to update your bank account information. If the bank account where you received your Virginia refund by direct deposit is closed, you’ll receive your rebate by paper check in the mail.
Some taxpayers’ rebates will be reduced or withheld to satisfy existing debts
If you owe money to certain government agencies and institutions, we are required to use your rebate to satisfy that debt before sending you the remainder in a check. If you owe more than the amount of your rebate, we will send you a letter explaining the use of your rebate toward the debt.”
