Virginia Earned Income Tax Credit

Virginia offers its own EITC on top of the federal credit. Virginia EITC — 20% of federal, refundable up to 15%. If you qualify for the federal EITC, you almost certainly qualify for this one too — just make sure to claim it when you file your state return. Most tax-prep software does this automatically.
