Families Who Receive the Federal EITC by Senate District (2022 data)

From Wise to Fairfax to Newport News, the EITC is a critical tool to boost family resources in every corner of the state. Across Virginia, about 1 in 8 households who filed federal income tax returns (over 536,000) claimed the credit for 2022. Many also benefited from the state version of the EITC, which builds on the federal credit’s success.

Advocates and legislative champions have won much-needed improvements to the state EITC, including a recent win during the 2025 session that could put more money in the pockets of Virginia families who need it most. Now, if in the final budget approved by the governor, all families in Virginia claiming the federal EITC will be able to see 20% of its value when filing their 2025 state income tax returns.
