Extension of Due Dates for Individual Income Tax Returns and Payments for Victims of Hurricane Helene
Virginia will provide extensions and penalty and interest waivers for individual and fiduciary taxpayers who are unable to meet their income tax filing and payment obligations due to Hurricane Helene. This applies to returns and payments on or after September 25, 2024, but on or before May 1, 2025.
The relief applies to taxpayers located in the following localities:
- City of Galax
- Grayson County

If additional localities are declared as disaster areas, they will also qualify for relief.
