HB 1220 Income tax, state; amended return notice, interest accrual period.

SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)

State income tax; amended return notice; interest accrual period. Provides that if the Department of Taxation is made aware that a taxpayer is required to file an amended federal income tax return, the Department would be required to notify such taxpayer in writing regarding whether an amended Virginia income tax return is also required to be filed. This requirement would apply with respect to taxpayers subject to the individual income tax, corporate income tax, and the income tax imposed on estates and trusts. This bill would give the Department the discretion to waive interest due on an underpayment of income taxes or the pass-through entity nonresident withholding tax if a return was submitted in good faith and the understatement of the amount in the return was not due to any fault of the taxpayer. Under current law, the Department is required to waive any applicable penalties in this situation, but does not have the authority to waive interest.
