Qualifying apprenticeship programs may include credit and noncredit classes. When claiming the credit on the basis of employee retraining, the credit is equal to: • 30% of all training costs for qualified employees who attend Virginia community colleges or a private school or an apprenticeship program, and • the actual costs up to $200 ($300 if the eligible worker retraining includes retraining in a STEM or STEAM discipline) per qualified employee annually for those employees who attend private schools. For taxable years beginning on and after January 1, 2018, but prior to January 1, 2022, the Worker Retraining Tax Credit may also be claimed by certain businesses primarily engaged in manufacturing. The businesses must conduct manufacturing-related orientation, instruction, and training programs in Virginia relating to the manufacturing activities of the taxpayer. To be eligible for the credit, the orientation, instruction, and training program must be approved by Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP) and must: (i) provide orientation, instruction, and training solely to students in grades 6-12; (ii) be coordinated with the local school division; and (iii) be conducted either at a plant or facility owned, leased, rented, or otherwise used by the business or at a public middle or high school in Virginia. If claiming the credit on the basis of manufacturing-related orientation, instruction, and training programs, the credit is equal to 35% of the direct costs associated with the program, not to exceed $2,000. Direct costs include: • salaries or wages paid to instructors and trainers, prorated for the period of instruction or training; • costs for orientation, instruction, and training materials; • amounts paid for machinery and equipment used primarily for the instruction and training; and • the cost of leased or rented space used primarily for conducting the program. The total credit granted to all employers and businesses is limited to $1 million for each fiscal year. If the total qualifying credits exceed this amount, the credit will be prorated. Employers and businesses must apply for their share of the available credit by filing Form WRC with the VEDP or Department of Taxation, as applicable, to determine their proportionate share of the credit. Notification of the authorized credit amount must be received before the credit may be claimed on the tax return. This credit is nonrefundable, but excess credit may be carried forward for the next 3 taxable years. No credit can be carried back to a preceding taxable year. Applicability of the Credit If claiming the credit on the basis of noncredit classes or apprenticeship programs, the credit is allowable against individual income tax, estates and trusts tax, corporate income tax, bank franchise tax, insurance premiums license tax, and license tax on telegraph, telephone, water, heat, light, power, and pipeline companies. If claiming the credit on the basis of manufacturing-related orientation, instruction, and training programs, the credit is allowable against individual and corporation income tax.

Virginia usually releases forms for the current tax year between January and April. We last updated Virginia Form WRC from the Department of Taxation in April 2021.
Form WRC 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.
