                                                    What’s New

  Advancement of Virginia’s Fixed Date Conformity with the Internal Revenue Code
Virginia’s date of conformity with the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) was advanced from December 31, 2020, to December 31, 
2021, subject to certain exceptions. This legislation also allows Virginia to generally conform to the American Rescue Plan 
Act of 2021 (“ARPA”) and provides additional benefits to recipients of certain coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) 
business assistance programs during Taxable Years 2021 and 2019. See Tax Bulletin 22-1, posted on the Department’s 
website at www.tax.virginia.gov, for additional information regarding Virginia’s conformity with the IRC and adjustments 
that may be required as a result of this legislation

Virginia will continue to deconform from the following: bonus depreciation allowed for certain assets under federal law; 
the five-year carryback of certain federal net operating loss (NOL) deductions generated in the 2008 or 2009 taxable 
years; the federal income treatment of applicable high yield discount obligations; and the federal income tax treatment 
of cancellation of debt income realized in connection with certain business debts. In addition, Virginia will continue to 
deconform from the following temporary changes made by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) 
Act: suspension of certain NOL limitations for Taxable Years 2018, 2019, and 2020 and increasing the business interest 
limitation for Taxable Year 2019 and 2020. See Tax Bulletin 21-4 for more information.

At the time these instructions were published, the only required fixed date conformity adjustments were those mentioned 
above. However, if legislation is enacted that results in changes to the IRC for the 2022 taxable year, taxpayers may need 
to make adjustments to their Virginia returns that are not described in these instructions. Information about any such 
adjustments will be posted on the Department’s website at www.tax.virginia.gov.

                                Business Interest Deduction Increase
For taxable years beginning on and after January 1, 2022, the Virginia corporate income tax deduction for business 
interest has increased to 30% of the business interest disallowed as a deduction under the federal business interest 
limitation. Under prior law, the deduction was equal to 20% of disallowed business interest. Enter the deduction amount  
on Form 765 using Code 59. If an addition is required, use Code 22 on Form 765.
