A recent legislative change requires taxpayers to submit all of their income tax payments electronically if:

• Any estimated tax payment exceeds $1,500; or
• Any extension payment exceeds $1,500; or
• The total anticipated income tax liability in any taxable year exceeds $6,000.

Individual taxpayers should start making all of their payments electronically if any of the above conditions apply to them. This includes all payments for estimated taxes, extension payments, and any other amounts due when a taxpayer files a return. 

We’re sending letters to taxpayers who may meet this requirement with their estimated tax payment, which is due September 15.

Visit the Virginia Tax website for more information on individual income tax payment options.
