FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
January 18, 2023
RICHMOND, Va. – A major deadline is around the corner for employers or organizations in Virginia that withheld state income taxes in 2022. Tuesday, Jan. 31, 2023, is the due date for submitting 2022 withholding records, including W-2 and 1099 forms.
“We strongly encourage employers provide withholding records on time,” said Tax Commissioner Craig M. Burns. “If you don’t meet the deadline, your employees, retirees and customers could face significant delays with their tax refunds.”
In addition to W-2s, all 1099 forms should also be submitted to Virginia Tax by Jan. 31. Issuers of 1099 documents can find current specifications in our W-2/1099 Guide for Web Upload.
As of last year, Virginia Tax also accepts corrected W-2s (or “W-2Cs”). Use this form to update or change for wage or withholding data.
There are two free, online filing options available to help you submit withholding records electronically:
- eForms, a fast and free way to file and pay state taxes online; and
- Web Upload, which allows you to file and pay employer withholding and income tax statements.
The authentication process (for both eForms and Web Upload) will work the same way for W-2Cs that it does for W-2s, so taxpayers should be prepared to enter requested withholding info to be authenticated.
