Yes, you need to file if you owe tax. You have the thresholds correct, but Virginia AGI doesn't include all VA deductions. See below. You can preview your Form 1040 and VA Tax Summary before paying (go to Tools menu). And you can view all forms and schedules after paying through the Print Center. The tax summary will show your VA adjusted gross income. Your resident state will give you a credit for tax paid to VA.
The State of Virginia levies an income tax on all income earned by Virginia residents, whether actual or legal residents, or Virginia Income earned by non-residents or part-year residents. The tax is based on the Federal Adjusted Gross Income.
In most cases, your federal adjusted gross income (line 21 on form 1040A; and line 37 on form 1040) plus any Virginia additions and minus any Virginia subtractions computed on Schedule ADJ, is called Virginia Adjusted Gross Income. It does not include standard or itemized deductions, the child and dependent care expense deduction, or personal exemptions. Except for Part-Year residents, Virginia Adjusted Gross Income does NOT exclude income from outside of Virginia.
