Set up your Virginia filing

When setting up your Virginia return, you'll need to provide the following information.

If you're unsure about any of this information, check your state sales tax registration certificate or call the Virginia Department of Taxation at 804-367-8037 (press 4 for an Agent, enter your EID if possible, but if not just wait for a representative).

Do you have a physical presence in Virginia?

Physical presence may include: an office, storefront, employee, salesperson, contractor, warehouse, inventory, or trade show attendance.

  • If you answer YES, you'll be asked how many physical locations you have. You’ll then be asked to provide the address for your in-state physical location.
    • Note: TaxJar only supports users who have a single physical location in the state of Virginia.
