Here is how Virginia calculates the Virginia AGI (VAGI), per the Virginia Department of Taxation:
- Federal adjusted gross income (from your federal income tax return) + any required additions to income - your social security income and any allowable subtractions from income
You're VAGI will not match your Federal AGI if you have any additions or subtractions added to your Virginia Return during the interview process. If your VAGI is showing hiring than what is listed on your federal return, recheck your entries for additions to income.
If you are "Married Filing Separate" and are not taking the Low Income Credit, you can enter the spouse's income as $0. Virginia's requirement for the Low Income Credit for "Married Filing Separate" is only one spouse can claim the credit and if claiming the credit your spouses income must be included.
