Tax Relief Fund reminder
Associated Press | 6/28/2019, 6 a.m.
Virginia tax officials are reminding taxpayers that they must file their individual income taxes by Monday, July 1, in order to qualify for the Tax Relief Refund.
The refund is the result of state legislation passed by the Virginia General Assembly earlier this year in response to the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
An individual filer could receive up to $110, while a married couple filing a joint return could receive up to $220.
The law requires checks to be mailed out by Oct. 15.
The state Department of Taxation will withhold all or part of the refund and apply it to outstanding tax bills for anyone who owes Virginia state taxes.
The department also will withhold refunds to pay debts to local governments, courts, state agencies and the Internal Revenue Service.
