COMMISSIONER OF THE REVENUE
Virginia State Income Tax
| Virginia Individual Income Tax returns must be filed annually on or before May 1; however, there is no penalty for refund returns filed after the due date. Effective with 2005 returns, taxpayers get an automatic filing extension to November 1 each year. This extension is for filing returns. Taxpayers should still pay 90% of the tax due on or before May 1 each year.
Responsibilities of the Commissioner of the Revenue's Office include reviewing and processing tax returns for Poquoson residents. Each return is reviewed for completeness and accuracy. Taxpayers are notified of any errors or omissions and allowed to correct these errors before the returns are forwarded to the Virginia Department of Taxation, which may prevent having to file an amended return later. Returns indicating an Accelerated Refund are keyed on-line with the Department's computer system. Taxpayers whose returns are accepted by the system as an accelerated refund usually receive their refund within 1 to 2 weeks, rather than the 3 to 4 weeks it takes for normal processing. Prior year and amended returns often require two or more months to process. Taxpayers who have received correspondence from the Department of Taxation concerning their return may contact the Commissioner of the Revenue at (757) 868-3020 for assistance, or may call the Department of Taxation at the number indicated on their correspondence, or at (804) 367-8031. Taxpayers who make Estimated Tax payments are required to file Form 760ES Voucher 1 annually on or before May 1 with the Commissioner of the Revenue's office. All subsequent payments for that tax year are sent to the City Treasurer and should be filed in accordance with the due date on the respective voucher.
