This publication contains general information regarding the withholding of Virginia income tax from wages. Every pass-through entity (PTE) that does business in Virginia or receives income from Virginia sources must file an annual Virginia income tax return.The Virginia income tax withholding exemption certificate is the Form VA-4. Virginia Tax does not require the filing of Form 1099, unless the form reflects Virginia income tax withheld. If you meet any of the exceptions above and had Virginia withholding, you may need to file Form 763S, Virginia Special. Resident Aliens (RA) may complete the W-4 and VA-4 just like a US citizen. Please use the worksheet on both forms to calculate your allowances and exemptions. Rather, nonresident aliens are treated in the same manner as any other individual subject to the Virginia withholding tax. Generally, you do not have to withhold or pay any taxes on payments to independent contractors. Does Virginia require additional forms when filing 1099 forms?
