Reminder: May 1 is deadline to file, pay Virginia individual income taxes

Note to all the non-billionaires out there: since you have to pay your taxes, you’re going to want to know that there’s another deadline coming up on that.

Virginia folks have a Thursday, May 1 deadline to file and pay their state income taxes.

You can find detailed information on the state tax website.
