The state of Virginia supports the automatic extension of time to file business income tax returns with the State.  A Virginia business extension will give a corporation 6 extra months to file its return, or 30 days beyond the Federally extended deadline, whichever date is later.

Extension Form to use    

There is no state-specific form to request an extension, as the state of Virginia automatically provides the extension for up to 6 months for businesses to file an income tax return with the state.

Does ExpressExtension support this State filing?    

Virginia tax extensions are automatic, which means there is no application to submit.

Any Special Requirements?

The extension provisions do not apply to the payment of any tax due with your return. To avoid penalties, you must pay at least 90% of your tax liability by the original due date. Interest will apply to any balance that is not paid by the original due date. If you are unable to file your return by the due date and will owe tax, make an extension payment by the due date to avoid penalty and interest.
