Virginia Sending Millions of Tax Rebates; Eligibility Tool Available

Over the last few days, the Virginia Department of Taxation began the process of sending out roughly 3.2 million tax rebate payments of up to $250 per person.

But not everybody is getting one. Eligibility for the one-time rebates, a result of huge revenue surpluses filling up state coffers, depends on how much a filer owed in state taxes for 2021.

To help people find out if they’ve got money coming their way in the next few weeks, tax officials published an online tool Monday that lets Virginians check their eligibility.

The website, which can be found here, allows taxpayers to type in their Social Security number/tax identification number and zip code, and then shows them how much money they can expect to receive.
