Position Number Date Locality Position Where Work First Filled is Performed Brief Description of Position SSN of Employee Employee Salary Employee Begin Date Employee End Date Employee City or County and State of Residence Instructions for Form GJC Green and Alternative Energy Job Creation Tax Credit Application General Information For taxable years beginning on and after January 1, 2010, but before January 1, 2025, a $500 income tax credit is allowed for each new green or alternative energy job created within Virginia paying an annual salary in excess of $50,000. For taxable years beginning on and after January 1, 2023, methane extracted in Planning District 2 has been added to the list of renewable, alternative energy sources that qualify for the credit. Each taxpayer is allowed a credit for up to 350 new green or alternative energy jobs. In order to qualify for the tax credit, the taxpayer must have created the green or alternative energy job and filled it during the taxable year in which the credit is claimed. The credit is allowed for the taxable year in which the job has been filled for at least 1 year and for each of the 4 succeeding taxable years provided that the job is continuously filled during the respective taxable year. The amount of the credit that may be claimed in any single taxable year may not exceed the taxpayer’s liability for taxes imposed for that taxable year. If the amount of credit allowed exceeds the taxpayer’s tax liability for the taxable year in which the green or alternative energy job was continuously filled, the amount that exceeds the tax liability may be carried over for credit against the income taxes of the taxpayer in the next 5 taxable years or until the total amount of the tax credit has been taken, whichever is sooner. In order to qualify for the tax credit, the taxpayer must demonstrate that the green or alternative energy job was created by the taxpayer and the job was filled for the taxable year in which the credit is claimed. If the taxpayer is eligible for the Green and Alternative Energy Job Creation Tax Credit and creates green or alternative energy jobs in an enterprise zone, the taxpayer may also qualify for the benefits under the Enterprise Zone Grant Program. However, a tax credit is not allowed for any job for which the taxpayer claims the Major Business Facility Job Tax Credit or a federal tax credit for investments in manufacturing facilities for clean energy technologies that would foster investment and job creation in clean energy manufacturing. Definitions Green job – employment in industries relating to the field of renewable, alternative energies, including the manufacture and operation of products used to generate electricity and other forms of energy from alternative sources that include hydrogen and fuel cell technology, landfill gas, methane extracted in Planning District 2, geothermal heating systems, solar heating systems, hydropower systems, wind systems, and biomass and biofuel systems. The Secretary of Commerce and Trade is required to develop a detailed definition and list of jobs that qualify for the credit. This information is available on the Secretary of Commerce and Trade’s website at www. commerce.virginia.gov/initiatives/green-job-tax-credit. Job – employment of an indefinite duration of an individual whose primary work activity is related directly to the field of renewable, alternative energies and for which the standard fringe benefits are paid by the taxpayer, requiring a minimum of either (i) 35 hours of an employee’s time per week for the entire normal year of such taxpayer’s operations, which “normal year” must consist of at least 48 weeks, or (ii) 1,680 hours per year. Positions created when a job function is shifted from an existing location in the Commonwealth do not qualify as a job. What to Enclose • Provide a copy of the W-2 for each eligible employee. • Guaranteed payments – provide a copy of the Schedule K-1 (Form 1065) and a statement indicating if the payments were for services or the use of capital. When to Submit Application Form GJC and any supporting documentation must be completed and mailed at least 90 days prior to the due date of your return. You must apply each year you are eligible to earn credit for each job that is continuously filled (not to exceed 5 years).

Pass-Through Entities Each pass-through entity must file Form TCA with the Department when allocating this credit to the owners. Form TCA should be filed within 30 days after the credit is granted, but at least 90 days prior to the participants filing their income tax returns. Failure to file Form TCA may result in the credit claim being disallowed and/or a delay in processing the participant’s return.

Virginia usually releases forms for the current tax year between January and April. We last updated Virginia Form GJC from the Department of Taxation in January 2024.
Form GJC is a Virginia Corporate Income Tax form. States often have dozens of even hundreds of various tax credits, which, unlike deductions, provide a dollar-for-dollar reduction of tax liability. Some common tax credits apply to many taxpayers, while others only apply to extremely specific situations. In most cases, you will have to provide evidence to show that you are eligible for the tax credit, and calculate the amount of the credit to which you are entitled.
About the Corporate Income Tax
The IRS and most states require corporations to file an income tax return, with the exact filing requirements depending on the type of company.
Sole proprietorships or disregarded entities like LLCs are filed on Schedule C (or the state equivalent) of the owner's personal income tax return, flow-through entities like S Corporations or Partnerships are generally required to file an informational return equivilent to the IRS Form 1120S or Form 1065, and full corporations must file the equivalent of federal Form 1120 (and, unlike flow-through corporations, are often subject to a corporate tax liability).
Additional forms are available for a wide variety of specific entities and transactions including fiduciaries, nonprofits, and companies involved in other specific types of business.
