Overview of Virginia Fed / State e-File Program
Virginia’s Individual Income e-File program works with the IRS Federal/State e-File program.
This allows Providers to file both federal and state returns electronically for the taxpayer. In addition to
accepting federal and state Individual Income tax returns electronically in a single transmission, State Only
returns are also accepted.
Like a paper tax return, an e-File tax return consists of tax forms, schedules, and attachments that can be
submitted.
The tax return uses schemas created using Extensible Markup Language (XML).
This language defines the structure and content of an XML document to implement all forms, schedules and
attachments in electronic format for e-File. Business rules are created to specify requirements that cannot be
defined in the XML.
The Individual Income e-File program will start accepting production Individual Income tax returns in January
when the IRS is open. This date is based upon IRS System availability and is subject to change.
For TY2015, Virginia’s Individual Income e-File program will accept:
Form 760CG
Form 760PY
Form 763
