Questions

Virginia tax FAQs

10 answers about taxes in Virginia.

Do you prepare Virginia state tax returns?

Yes. We prepare resident, part-year and nonresident Virginia returns and file them with the Virginia Department of Taxation, together with your federal return.

When are Virginia individual returns due?

Many states follow the federal April 15 deadline, but some set their own dates. We track the Virginia Department of Taxation deadlines for you and file extensions when they are needed.

Does Virginia have a sales tax?

Yes. Virginia charges sales tax, and local rates can add to the state rate. We help Virginia businesses register, collect the right rate and file returns with the Virginia Department of Taxation.

What payroll registrations does a Virginia employer need?

Employers generally register with Virginia for unemployment insurance and state income tax withholding, plus any other state payroll programs that apply. We handle the registrations and the ongoing filings.

Do I need to make Virginia estimated tax payments?

If you have income without enough withholding, such as self-employment or investment income, Virginia generally expects estimated payments during the year, with its own thresholds and due dates. We calculate federal and state payments together.

How are LLCs and corporations taxed in Virginia?

Virginia applies its own rules to LLCs, S corporations and C corporations, and in some cases charges franchise, gross receipts or minimum taxes regardless of profit. We review how your entity is treated in Virginia before you form it or make an election.

I moved into or out of Virginia. What do I file?

Usually a part-year return for each state you lived in during the year, with credits so the same income is not taxed twice. Our multi-state filing service handles this.

Can you represent me with the Virginia Department of Taxation?

Yes. In addition to IRS matters, we respond to notices and audits from the Virginia Department of Taxation when you authorize us to.

Can a Virginia business work with BATS remotely?

Yes. We work with Virginia businesses through video meetings, secure document upload and cloud accounting software, so there is no need to visit an office.

Which Virginia cities do you serve?

We have dedicated pages for Virginia Beach, Richmond, Norfolk, Arlington, Alexandria, Chesapeake, and we work with clients anywhere in Virginia.
