What changed in the latest version
146 added · 140 removedPlain-language change summary
The latest version of Bill HB 472 revises the income tax deduction structure for Virginia taxpayers by updating the amounts that individuals and married couples can deduct, specifically increasing these values significantly for certain tax years. For example, starting from January 1, 2022, single individuals can deduct $9,000 and married couples can deduct $18,000, which is a notable jump from previous limits. These changes matter because they could provide additional tax relief to Virginia residents, allowing them to keep more of their income, particularly during the designated years.
