Virginia will provide extensions and penalty and interest waivers for individual and fiduciary taxpayers who are unable to meet their income tax filing and payment obligations due to Hurricane Helene.
The relief applies to taxpayers located in Virginia localities listed as designated areas eligible for disaster assistance on the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) website. The relief applies whether a locality is eligible for Individual Assistance, Public Assistance, or both.
If additional localities are declared as disaster areas, they will also qualify for relief.
Impacted taxpayers do not need to take action. These extensions and waivers are automatic as long as the missing returns and payments are made by June 1, 2025.
Penalty and interest waivers for other Virginia state taxes
Impacted taxpayers that can demonstrate a hardship attributable to Hurricane Helene should submit a written request for penalty and interest waivers for all other state taxes due on or after the disaster to the following address:
Virginia Department of Taxation
Customer Service Section Severe Storm Relief
P.O. Box 1115
