RICHMOND, Va. — If you filed in Virginia this past tax season, you could be eligible for a rebate, according to a news release from Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s office on Wednesday.
Individual filers who had a tax liability in 2024 could receive up to $200, the release states, while joint filers could get up to $400.
Virginians who do not file their taxes by Nov. 3, 2025, will not be eligible for rebate consideration, the release states. While the deadline to file state taxes has passed, Virginians who requested an extension could have until Nov. 1 to file.
Additionally, if you have unpaid state taxes or owe money to another state or local agency, the rebate will go towards that debt, Youngkin’s office says. If there’s money left after that debt is paid, the rest of the rebate will be sent to you.
Eligible taxpayers who filed before July 1 will be sent rebates by Oct. 15, arriving by the end of October, the release states. Those who got a tax refund via direct deposit will receive their rebate via direct deposit, while others will get a paper check mailed to them.

The governor opted to issue rebates due to a surplus revenue, which he attributed to the state’s strong job market and business investments.
“Virginia’s strong job growth, bolstered by business investment commitments of $140 billion has driven a total of $10 billion in surplus revenue and enabled a record $9 billion in tax relief,” Youngkin said. “This fall’s tax rebate reflects a simple truth: it’s your money, not the government’s.”
The Youngkin administration issued similar rebates for the 2021 and 2022 tax years, which were distributed in 2022 and 2023, respectively.
