Working With the Virginia Department of Taxation

Remote Representation, Statewide

Virginia’s state tax process, run out of the Department of Taxation in Richmond, gives you more room than Maryland’s does, but it’s still a hard deadline. You have 90 days from the date of an assessment to file a complete appeal, and that deadline is strictly enforced. Virginia typically expects an informal review first. If that doesn’t resolve things, the next step is a formal appeal to the Tax Commissioner under Virginia Code § 58.1-1821, using Virginia’s Appeals Form, with a complete statement of the facts and supporting documentation attached.An incomplete filing that has to be sent back for more information isn’t considered timely, even if you filed within the 90 days. Once a complete appeal is filed, collection activity is suspended while it’s under review.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to appeal a Virginia tax assessment? 90 days from the date of assessment, strictly enforced. An incomplete appeal filed within that window still risks being treated as untimely, so completeness matters as much as speed.

What happens to collections while my Virginia appeal is pending? Collection activity is suspended once a complete appeal is filed with the Tax Commissioner.

Do I need to be a Virginia resident to work with you? No, we represent Virginia taxpayers regardless of where you currently live, as long as the tax matter is tied to Virginia.
