The short answer is yes.  The long answer comes from https://www.tax.virginia.gov/subtractions#long-term-capital

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Long-Term Capital Gains

Income taxed as a long-term capital gain, or any income taxed as investment services partnership income for federal tax purposes is allowed as a subtraction provided the income is attributable to an investment in a "qualified business" as defined in Va. Code § 58.1-339.4 or in any other technology business approved by the Secretary of Technology. Qualified businesses include those related to advanced computing, advanced materials, advanced manufacturing, agricultural technologies, biotechnology, electronic device technology, energy, environmental technology, medical device technology, nanotechnology, or any similar technology related field. The business must have its principal facility in Virginia and less than $3 million in annual revenues for the fiscal year preceding the investment. The investment must be made between the dates of April 1, 2010, and June 30, 2020. Taxpayers claiming the Qualified Equity and Subordinated Debt Credit cannot claim this subtraction relating to investments in the same business. In addition, no investment is "qualified" for this deduction if the business performs research in Virginia on human embryonic stem cells.

I'll review the responses I gave because I see doesn't apply to my situation, We are a retired couple and have no businesses just investments for retirement and a trust account with less than half a million

Mario,

 

In your case, you are not invested in such a qualified venture and your capital gains are taxed just the same as any other income by VA.  It's not clear how you or last year's poster got down in that particular esoteric tax rabbit hole, but just go back and say No to that question and what led up to it.
