The State of Virginia doesn't require individuals to file a separate extension form, it automatically grants taxpayers a 6-month extension of time to file their personal income tax return. However, at least 90% of your Virginia tax liability must be paid by the original deadline of your return or penalties will apply.
Extension Form To Use
There is no state-specific form to request an extension, as the state of Virginia automatically grants the extension for up to 6 months for individuals to file an income tax return with the state.

How to pay the state tax due?
An extension of time to file is not an extension of time to pay. If you owe Virginia state taxes, at least 90% of your balance must be paid by the regular due date, or penalties and interest will be charged. Therefore, make your payment using any of the following options:
- Pay online by Direct Debit or ACH Credit
- Debit Card or Credit Card
- Pay by Check, Money Order, or by Mailing the payment voucher
- To make a payment with the state, use Automatic Extension Payment Voucher for Individuals (Form 760ES).
