The office of the Commissioner of the Revenue will complete your Virginia state income tax return at no charge.  You must bring a completed copy of your federal return in order for the state return to be completed properly.  The office also audits all returns that come through the office to be forwarded to the Department of Taxation.  This expedites the refund process as we also data entry the information directly into the computer system of the Department of Taxation.

Where's My Refund?

If you file your State Income Tax Return on paper in 2009 or future years, it will take longer to issue your refund.  Returns filed electronically (E-file) will be processed at least 50 percent quicker than those returns filed on paper.  It is considerably more costly to process a paper return than a return filed electronically, and due to the state’s current budget situation, TAX will no longer be able to process paper returns as quickly as we have in prior years.  TAX also will no longer have the I-File program beginning tax year 2010.
