VA-4 Form and State Tax Issues

VA-4 Form and State Tax Issues

Most VA-4 forms are used when a tax payer earns less than the minimum filing requirement for the IRS in a given year. Anyone redeeming lawful money typically will utilize a 1040 form and follow the guidelines of placing brackets like so "[earnings here]" as a subtraction from the filing along with proof of lawful money redemption for the year. That should leave one with the withholdings as a refund from the IRS.

State taxes can be difficult to receive a refund for sometimes, as states don't deal with lawful money returns nearly as often as the IRS does. So that filing is left up to each individual if they wish to pursue it. Some states do suspend driver's licenses, but only in cases where there is a flat-out refusal to pay, i.e. "tax protesting". See https://www.taxdebthelp.com/state-taxes/consequences-not-filing-or-paying Lawful money is not "refusing to pay taxes/tax protesting", it's seen more like a tax deduction by the proper IRS department who handles lawful money.
