Who files this form
WV-8453OL is the declaration for electronically filing a West Virginia individual income tax return. It confirms that the amounts in Part I match your state return and that your return is true, correct, and complete to the best of your knowledge.
The form includes a spouse’s information and signature for a joint return. Keep the signed declaration with your records rather than mailing it, unless the Tax Division requests it.
What you'll need
- Your West Virginia income tax return, so you can compare its amounts with Part I.
- Your Social Security number and, for a joint return, your spouse’s Social Security number.
- Your address and daytime telephone number.
- Your routing and account numbers if using direct deposit or electronic funds withdrawal.
- All required forms and schedules attached to the back of WV-8453OL. The checklist names W-2, 1099-R, Schedule H, and WV-8379, Injured Spouse Allocation.
- A completed IT-140V payment voucher if paying by check or money order.
How to file
- Enter your identifying information and the beginning and ending dates of the tax period.
- Complete Part I using whole-dollar amounts that match your West Virginia return.
- Complete Part II if using direct deposit or electronic funds withdrawal.
- Sign and date the declaration. For a joint return, use the spouse’s signature and date fields as well.
- Attach all required forms and schedules. Keep the signed document for at least 3 years. Do not mail WV-8453OL unless the Tax Division requests it. It must be readily available to mail upon request.
The state’s electronic filing acknowledgement follows the IRS acknowledgement and is sent through your email account. If it does not arrive within 10 days after filing, call 1-800-982-8297 or 304-558-3333. Do not send a copy of your return.
If paying by check or money order, attach the payment to a completed IT-140V, not to WV-8453OL. If your online filing software does not print the voucher, obtain one at tax.wv.gov.
Common mistakes
- Mailing the declaration without a request. Keep it and its required attachments for at least 3 years.
- Attaching a balance-due payment to WV-8453OL. Attach a check or money order to IT-140V instead.
- Sending a copy of your return. The checklist warns this can cause billing errors or duplicate returns.
- Using an invalid routing number. The first two digits must be 01 through 12 or 21 through 32.
- Requesting a partial electronic withdrawal. The form does not allow partial payments by electronic funds withdrawal.
- Selecting savings for an electronic withdrawal. Savings accounts are marked for direct deposit only.
Questions people ask
How long should I keep the signed form?
Keep it with the required attachments for at least 3 years. The Tax Division may review it during that period and request that you mail it.
What if I do not receive a state acknowledgement?
If it has not arrived within 10 days after filing, call 1-800-982-8297 or 304-558-3333. Do not send a copy of your return.
Can I use a savings account?
Yes, for direct deposit only. Part II lists checking accounts and marks savings accounts as direct deposit only.
Can an error on my federal return affect my state filing?
The declaration states that if you filed a joint federal and state return, an error on either return will cause your state return to be rejected.
