Tax Return Filing Deadlines Delayed
Residents of Virginia have an extra 30 days to file their returns. For 2020, in light of current events, the new tax deadline is June 1, 2020.
Federal returns are delayed until July 15 (90 days later than normal)..
For practical purposes, consider the Virginia deadline (since most tax filers must complete their Federal returns in order to complete the Virginia state return).
