Refund FAQs:
1. How soon will I receive my Virginia state tax refund?
Refunds are issued within 2 weeks for e-filed returns. For paper returns, processing times can take up to 8 weeks. Allow an additional 3 weeks processing time for tax returns mailed using Certified Mail.
2. Why was my refund taken to offset a debt?
Your refund will be withheld if you owe money for prior year taxes or a debt to another local government. This is called a debt offset. You will receive a letter in the mail explaining which debt was paid, how much of your refund was withheld, and the contact information of the agency. You will be mailed a check for any amount remaining from your refund.
3. Can I check my refund status over the phone?
The Virginia Department of Taxation gets millions of calls each year for refund status updates and there may be a long hold on the phone. You can call the automated phone line (804-367-2486). It is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. However, you are encouraged to use the online refund tool because it’s a quick and easy way to check the status.
