Filing Remindersone

All employers are required to file their withholding tax returns, make payments and submit their W-2 wage statements electronically.

  • Employers who file on a monthly or seasonal basis are required to file their June 2014 Form VA-5 returns on or before July 25, 2014.
  • Employers who file on a quarterly basis are required to file their April - June Form VA-5 returns on or before July 31, 2014.
  • Employers designated as "semi-weekly" filers are required to file their April-June Form VA-16 returns on or before July 31, 2014.

The Tax Commissioner has the authority to waive the requirement to file and/or pay electronically should this cause an undue hardship for the employer. Requests for waiver must be submitted in writing by completing the Virginia Electronic Filing Waiver Request form.
