Some stimulus checks have just been sent like the PFD payment in Alaska on November 16. However, there are some payments that could arrive before Black Friday comes.
The first example is the State of Virginia. Stimulus checks worth $400 could be in your bank account by direct deposit these days. For your information, all payments will take place by November 30.
Therefore, if you are one of those late filers you may still get the payment before November 30. Now, let’s see the taxpayers in Virginia who qualify for this stimulus check in the form of a tax rebate.
Eligibility of the stimulus check in Virginia
Bear in mind that this tax rebate will only be for those taxpayers who had tax liability last year. If you did not owe any money on your tax return, you will not collect any payment.
Although the maximum amount is $400, this will only be for those taxpayers who file jointly. Single taxpayers will only get up to $200. Do not forget that your payment may be smaller if you owe money to the Virginia Taxation Department.
Those citizens who received disability benefits, unemployment, or Social Security cannot be eligible for this stimulus check. This is because Virginia does not tax them, so they do not have any tax liability.
If you still are not sure if you had tax liability or not last year, make use of the rebate lookup tool. In this way, you can easily find out your eligibility. Only those who filed their 2022 tax return may qualify, so you will not get any free money if you did not file by November 1, 2023.
Could I receive a paper check for the stimulus check in Virginia?
Yes, you could because that may be the form you received your 2022 tax refund. Therefore, the Virginia Department of Taxation may send you the stimulus check in the same way you requested your tax refund.
Do not worry if you closed your bank account and the Department of Taxation does not have your bank details. They will also send a paper check of up to $400. This is possible when you got a direct deposit but you no longer have the same account.
Some taxpayers who owe money may also receive a paper check with the remaining amount of money after satisfying the debt they had. The description of the stimulus check on your bank statement is “VA DEPT TAXATION VATREBATE”.
Of course, you can only see this if you receive direct deposit. The envelope will have the following information “Commonwealth of Virginia” and “Department of Taxation”. The States of Washington and New Mexico may also send payments before Black Friday. But it will depend on when you applied.
