State tax filing

You are correct.  If you have no withholding and do not have any refund that you should receive, do not file this state return since your income on Line 1, Form 760, is below the filing threshold.  Be sure to check the full income (not the taxable income) that comes over from the federal return.

If you do have a refund coming you will want to file the tax return to receive it. It's not quite clear why you are experiencing this situation. 

 

When testing this scenario (federal AGI less than $23,900), TurboTax does the right calculations to show zero tax. When the filing requirement is not met, you should not select to complete a VA tax return.  Be sure to check your filing requirement each year for potential tax filings.
