How Virginia State Income Tax Works
Virginia uses a progressive tax system with 4 tax brackets. As your income increases, different portions are taxed at higher rates. Only the income within each bracket is taxed at that bracket's rate.
Tips for Virginia Taxpayers

- Make estimated quarterly payments if you're self-employed or have significant investment income
- Keep detailed records of all income, deductions, and tax payments
