Age Deduction

Virginia offers qualifying individuals ages 65 and older a subtraction that reduces the amount of their income subject to Virginia income tax:

• If you were born on January 1, 1939, or earlier, you can subtract $12,000 
• If you were born on January 2, 1939, or later, the amount of allowed subtraction is based on your income.

For more information, see Age Deduction for Taxpayers Age 65 and Over.

I would like to take a deeper look at this. However, I need a diagnostic file which is a copy of your tax return that has all of your personal information removed. You can send one to us by following the directions below:

5. This will generate a message that a diagnostic file gets sanitized and transmitted to us.
6. Please provide the Token Number that was generated in the response.
