Later this fall, taxpayers with a tax liability will receive a rebate of up to $200 for individual filers and up to $400 for joint filers.

You must file your taxes by November 3, 2025 to receive the rebate. See Individual Income Tax Filing for your filing options. If you already filed your 2024 taxes, no action is needed.

Are you eligible?

Not every taxpayer is eligible. If you had a tax liability last year, you will receive up to $200 if you filed individually, and up to $400 if you filed jointly. Tax liability is the amount of tax you owe throughout the year minus any credits (like the earned income tax credit), deductions, or subtractions. 

We’re unable to provide taxpayer-specific information about eligibility at this time. If you have questions about your eligibility, check out these common scenarios for more information:

Did you take credits, like the earned income tax credit, when you filed?
Did you receive social security, unemployment, or disability income last year?
Was your adjusted gross income less than $11,950 (individuals) or $23,900 (joint) last year?
Do you owe money to a local or state agency or institution?
Did you have a tax liability when you filed this year?

 

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. 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, 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.
