How do I generate a Virginia amended return? Why is my explanation not printing?
An amended return in Virginia is completed and filed as if it is an original return. Complete the return using the corrected information, as if it were the original return. Do not make any adjustments to the return to show refunds or balances paid with the original return. The Virginia DOR will make any necessary adjustments after they receive the amended return. A drop list on the VA > X (Amended Return) screen is used to make the selection for why the return is being amended. If code 30 is chosen, use the explanation box to include details.
Virginia Amended Explanation – Reason Code 30.
The explanation field for the VA760, 760PY and 763 is an e-file field only. This means the explanation is transmitted to the taxing authority when the return is e-filed. It will not print on the return. Only the code 30 will display on the VA 760/760PY/763.
