Has anyone received their Virginia tax return yet? I filed in January and still have not received mine. Usually they are much faster than this. Thank you.

Even though the Virginia Department of Taxation was accepting returns, they did not start processing them until mid- to late-February.  They were waiting for legislation to be passed concerning Virginia's conformity to the new federal tax laws.

According to the Virginia Tax website:

What the new law means for this year’s filing season:

• We are starting to process returns in the order we received them.

• The Where's My Refund online tool is open and available for you to check on your 2018 return, past return, or refund status 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
• Due to the large backlog of returns that have already been submitted, you will experience slower turnaround times for refunds compared to past years.
