This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.
Summary
Income tax; standard deduction. Increases the standard deduction, starting with taxable year 2022, from $4,500 to $9,000 for single filers and from $9,000 to $18,000 for married filers (one-half of such amount in the case of a married individual filing a separate return). The increase would remain in effect until taxable year 2026, when the standard deduction is scheduled to be reduced to $3,000 for single filers and to $6,000 for married filers.

What changed in the latest version
147 added · 140 removedPlain-language change summary
In the latest version of Bill HB 472, the standard deduction amounts for Virginia taxpayers have been updated. Specifically, the proposed amendment increases the standard deduction to $9,000 for single individuals and $18,000 for married couples during certain years, which could provide additional tax relief for Virginia residents. This change is important because it helps to ease the tax burden on families and individuals, especially in the context of rising living costs.
