Frequently Asked Questions

Pre-tax commuter/parking—does it help here?

Qualified transit/parking lower federal wages and typically reduce Virginia taxable income as configured for 2026.

Does Virginia tax retirement distributions?

Distributions included in federal AGI are generally taxable by the state, subject to any subtractions/age rules in the 2026 config.

Where do I report local/city wage taxes?

None apply for Virginia personal income tax. If your employer withholds locality-specific items, they’re likely non-income levies (e.g., local services).

Can I switch to bi-weekly or semi-monthly?

Yes—change pay frequency in the calculator, then review the monthly and per-period views for 2026.

Are Social Security benefits taxed by Virginia?

The treatment is handled per 2026 rules. Federal AGI and state subtractions determine if any amount is included; the calculator applies them.
