Virginia Form 760Py Schedule Adj Instructions
VIRGINIA SCHEDULE 760PY ADJ
FIXED DATE CONFORMITY UPDATE FOR 2014
Virginia's Fixed Date Conformity with the Internal Revenue Code: Virginia's date of conformity with the federal enhanced Earned Income Tax Credit ("EITC") was extended to taxable years ending before January 1, 2018. Virginia will continue to allow taxpayers to claim either the Tax Credit for Low-Income Individuals or a credit equal to 20% of the Federal EITC that was claimed for the taxable year. Low-Income taxpayers may also continue to claim the portion of the Virginia Low-Income Tax Credit that is based on the federal EITC without making complex adjustments on their Virginia income tax returns.
During the 2014 Session, the General Assembly did not advance Virginia's date of conformity with the Internal Revenue Code, and the date of conformity remains January 2, 2013. Virginia will continue to disallow federal income tax deductions for bonus depreciation allowed for certain assets under Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") §§ 168(k), 168(l), 168(m), 1400L and 1400N; the five-year carryback of federal net operating loss deductions generated in Taxable Year 2008 or 2009; and federal income tax deductions for applicable high yield discount obligations under IRC § 163(e)(5)(F).
At the time these instructions went to print, the only required adjustments for "fixed date conformity" were those mentioned above. However, if federal legislation is enacted that results in changes to the IRC for the 2014 taxable year, taxpayers will be required to make adjustments to their Virginia returns that are not described in the instruction booklet. Information about any such adjustments will be posted on the Department's website at www. tax.virginia.gov.

Enter the total number of exemptions listed above and on any attached schedule.
Determine Eligibility for Credit for Low-Income Individuals. Using the number on Line 11 as Eligible Exemptions, compare the dollar amount on Line 10 to the Poverty Guideline Table below. If the Line 10 amount is greater than the Guideline amount, you do not qualify for the Credit for Low-Income Individuals. Continue to Line 14. If the Line 10 amount is less than or equal to the Guideline amount for the number of exemptions on Line 10, complete Line 14 through Line 17, Schedule 760PY ADJ.
Line 12 - Exemptions
If you are eligible based on the table above, enter the number of personal and dependent exemptions from Form 760PY. Do not include exemptions for age 65 or older and blind.
Line 13 - Multiply
Multiply the number of exemptions reported on Line 12 by $300. If you do not qualify for the Tax Credit for Low-Income Individuals but claimed and Earned Income Tax Credit on your federal return, enter $0 on Line 13 and proceed to Line 14.
Line 14 - Earned Income Credit Claimed on Your Federal Return
Enter the amount of Earned Income Tax Credit claimed on your federal return. If you did not claim an Earned Income Tax Credit on your federal return, enter $0. When a taxpayer using the married filing separately status computes the Virginia Earned Income Tax Credit, the taxpayer must first determine the proportion of the earned income that was used to qualify for the federal Earned Income Tax Credit. That proportion must then be multiplied by the total Virginia Earned Income Tax Credit , which is 20% of the federal Earned Income Tax Credit. The spouses may then claim their proportional share of the credit on their separate returns.
Line 15 - Multiply
Multiply Line 14 by 20% (.20).
Line 16
Enter the greater of Line 13 or 15.
Line 17 - Credit
Compare the amount of tax on Form 760PY, Line 19 to the amount on Schedule 760PY ADJ, Line 16. Enter the lower amount on Line 17. This is your Tax Credit. Also, enter this amount on Form 760PY, Line 23.
These credits are nonrefundable credits. A nonrefundable credit cannot exceed your tax liability. If you claim any credits on Form 760PY, Line 24 or Line 25, in addition to the Tax Credit For Low- Income Individuals or the Virginia Earned Income Tax Credit, the sum of all nonrefundable credit claimed cannot exceed your tax liability on Form 760PY, Line 19.

ADDITION TO TAX, PENALTY AND INTEREST
Addition to Tax for Underpayment of Tax
Even if your return results in a refund, you may owe an "addition to tax" for underpaying your withholding or estimated tax. Virginia law requires that you pay your income tax in timely installments throughout the year by having income tax withheld or making payments of estimated tax. If you do not pay at least 90% of your tax in this manner, you may be charged an addition to tax.
There are 4 (quarterly) installment periods for determining whether you underpaid your tax for the year. If your taxable year is from January 1 through December 31, your quarterly payments are due May 1, June 15, September 15 and January 15 (of the following year). Underpayments are determined as of each installment due date, so an overpayment in one quarter cannot cancel out an underpayment for a previous quarter. The addition to tax does not apply if each payment is made on time and:
- the total tax paid through withholding and timely estimated tax payments is at least 90% (66 2/3% for farmers, fishermen or merchant seamen) of the current year's tax liability (after nonrefundable credits) or 100% of last year's tax liability (after nonrefundable credits);
- the sum of the quarterly underpayments for the year is $150 or less; or
- you meet one of the exceptions computed on Form 760C or Form 760F. Attach Form 760C or 760F showing the computation.
Line 18 - Addition to Tax
Enter the amount of the addition to tax computed on Form 760C (for individuals, estates and trusts) or Form 760F (for farmers, fishermen or merchant seamen). If you underpaid your estimated income tax or had insufficient income tax withheld for the taxable year, you may owe the "addition to tax" computed on Form 760C or Form 760F.
Line 19 - Penalty
The due date for filing a calendar year return is May 1, and the automatic extension provisions apply to returns filed by November 1. Depending on when you file your return, you may be required to compute an extension penalty or a late filing penalty. For more information on due dates and penalty provisions, refer to When to File Your Return section in these instructions.
Extension penalty: If you file your return within 6 months after the due date and the amount of tax due with the return is more than 10% of your total tax liability, you must compute an extension penalty on the balance of tax due. The extension penalty is applied at the rate of 2% per month or part of a month, from the due date through the date of filing. The maximum extension penalty is 12% of the tax due. Note: If you do not pay the tax in full when you file your return, a late payment penalty will be assessed at the rate of 6% per month or part of a month from the date the return is filed through the date the tax is paid, up to a maximum of 30%. The late payment penalty is imposed in addition to the extension penalty.
Late filing penalty: If you file your return more than 6 months after the due date, no extension provisions apply, and you must compute a late filing penalty of 30% of the tax due with your return.
Line 20 - Interest
If you filed a tax due return after the filing date, you are liable for interest on the tax due amount on Form 760PY, Line 27, from the due date to the date filed or postmarked. To obtain the daily interest factor, please call (804)367-8031 or contact your locality.
