Pass-through entity returns (Form 502) are due on or before Jan. 15, 2014 from:

• Fiscal year filers whose taxable year ends on Sept. 30, 2014.
• Fiscal year filers whose taxable year ends on March 30, 2014 and who are filing under Virginia's automatic six-month extension.

 Virginia Automatic Extension Reminder: Virginia law provides for an automatic six-month extension from the original due date for filing. To take advantage of the automatic extension, the return must be filed on or before the end of the extension period.  Please note: The automatic extension does not allow for additional time to pay any balance of tax due. Penalty and/or interest may apply to returns with a tentative tax due that was not paid by the original due date for filing the return. Also, the extension penalty may apply to returns that were filed during the extension period if less than 90 percent of the return's total tax liability was paid by the original due date.

For details regarding pass-through entity filing extensions and penalties visit our Pass-through Entity webpage.

Electronic Filing Mandate Reminder: Beginning Jan. 1, 2015, an additional electronic filing mandate takes effect. The mandate applies to pass-through entity returns (Form 502), related schedules (including VK-1s), and payments. The mandate impacts all future returns beginning with taxable year 2014. Pass-through entities that are seeking a waiver of the requirement to file and/or pay electronically because of undue hardship should submit the Virginia Pass-through Entity Electronic Filing Waiver Request form.

Remember: It is very important that the department maintains accurate information regarding taxpayer businesses. Many tax account updates can be performed through our Business iFile system.
