Virginia gives everyone an automatic six-month extension for filing an income tax return. You don't need to file any form - the extension is automatic. The extension is for filing a return, not for paying the tax you owe. If you owe tax, it is still due by the original due date.
If you expect to owe Virginia tax, you can complete your Virginia extension here:
Menu Path:
Account > File an Extension
We'll fill out a payment voucher for you, which you can mail to the Virginia Department of Taxation by the original due date for filing the return to avoid penalties and interest. You can also make a payment online
here .
If you're expecting a Virginia refund, you don't need to do anything. You have an automatic extension and you can file when you're ready.
