Vote Democrat then you won't have to be put out by that extra $110. It will go to the person paying $2k as well.

it’s just going to convince people to make less money, that way their 110 dollars will seem like a better deal

So does this count as taxable unearned income? And it is not like you can pretend you did not get it as the State sent it to you. Why didn't they just give everyone a $110 automatic deduction on their 2019 taxes? Think of what it cost to calculate, generate and mail all of those checks. Stupid.

Your post ended with the "downsized" spelling of the state name...

1. It will be a different group of people filing for 2019 so even though a tax CREDIT sounds like a good idea, it would be difficult to do. There would be a whole group who left the state who would be entitled to it, but might not know it. The tax software might catch it, but some people do a form by hand. People who died in 2018 and won’t file a 2019 return won’t be able to get it that way. Then there would be people moving into the state who would NOT be entitled to it but might think they are. Hard to track. It’s a mess, that’s for sure.
Never saw so many unhappy people over a $110 refund check.
1- the refund is a short term (1 yr) solution that adjusts to the changes in the federal tax law. (The fed law was finalized too late to reprint VA forms.)
2- you must have paid VA taxes for tax year 2018 and your refund will be the lesser of what you paid or $110. (If you paid $50, you get $50; $120 you get $110.)
3- Going forward, your personal deduction is increased to adjust to fed tax law.
4- If you are still pissed off that you got a refund, give it to charity or send me a check.

I for one am not unhappy. Do I claim this as income for 2019? My guess is yes.

If you claimed your state taxes as a deduction on your federal 1040 last year, yes.
Because when you claimed that deduction, it became income you weren’t taxed on. And now you’re getting it back. So a refund is added back as income for this year.
