Fax Virginia Department of Revenue — Reach the Right Office
Documents for a state tax matter in Virginia do not all go to one fax line — Virginia Department of Taxation routes them by office, so the destination depends on the document. For Virginia residents in the Mid-Atlantic, Virginia Department of Taxation is the office behind the state's state taxes program. This guide shows how to route the document, what to include, and how to fax it securely.
Does Virginia Department of Taxation accept a fax?
You generally file and pay state taxes electronically, yet the department accepts fax for particular documents — a POA form, documents answering a notice, or an offer-in-compromise packet. Use the fax number printed on the letter you received. When in doubt, confirm with the office whether fax is an option for your filing before you rely on it.
Finding the official fax number
Because Virginia Department of Taxation handles a state tax matter through different offices, the right fax depends on your document. Check the form's instructions or the notice, verify the line on the official site, and keep it with your file.
What people fax to Virginia Department of Taxation
- A power-of-attorney or third-party authorization form
- Identity-verification documents the department requested
- A protest or appeal of an assessment
- A response to an audit or notice letter
- An offer-in-compromise or hardship packet
Sending to the right tax unit
Where your revenue fax lands depends on the notice and the unit that sent it. The notice or letter names the unit and the line that receives the response. Sending an audit response to a general line risks a delay — use the fax on the letter.

Federal agencies still write fax into new rules and notices
The Federal Register — the daily journal of U.S. federal rulemaking — regularly publishes rules and notices that reference fax as an accepted or required submission channel for filings with agencies like the IRS, SSA, and CMS. That is why fax remains a live requirement for many official forms even as electronic portals expand.
