Legislative Updates
This section provides an overview of legislative changes that impact Individual Income Tax e-Filing. Additional
details can be found on the Department’s
website
and in the Individual Income Tax return instructions.
Debit Card Option – Not Supported
The Debit Card Option for refunds is no longer available and has been removed from the Individual Income
Tax returns. Taxpayers will not be allowed to opt in for a debit card. Direct deposit (preferred method) and a
paper check are the only options to be displayed in software.
Virginia Identity PIN
In an attempt to prevent potential identity theft, the Department may ask taxpayers for additional information to
verify that they are the taxpayer filing a return. This may result in some taxpayers being issued a Virginia
Identity PIN that must be included with their return information.
Additional details are provided in the schema documentation.
