Senior Citizens Tax Credit 1/20/2026
The West Virginia Tax Division has begun to mail letters to individuals in your county who may be entitled to the Senior Citizens Tax Credit (SCTC). Enclosed for your information is a sample SCTC package and a form suitable for faxing information to the State Tax Department to prove eligibility.
For qualified individuals to receive the credit, they must file either a Personal Income Tax Return with their accompanying SCTC-A letter or their completed form SCTC-A by itself. A Personal Income Tax Return can be filed electronically or via paper and can be found online at https://tax.wv.gov. Starting for Tax Year 2025, individuals who are not required to file a Personal Income Tax Return will be able to file their SCTC-A online through the State’s online portal at https://mytaxes.wvtax.gov. Those who do not receive an SCTC-A form through the mail should call Taxpayer Services for the Tax Division at 304-558-3333 or toll-free at 1-800-982-8297 (not the Property Tax Division) and request a duplicate. More detailed instructions can be found on the second page of the SCTC-A form, online at https://tax.wv.gov, by contacting Taxpayer Services for additional assistance.
If an SCTC-A letter has not been generated, the County Assessor will need to assist the taxpayer by completing and signing the attached form entitled, “Senior Citizens Tax Credit Information.” Please be sure to complete the entire form, including the allowable credit amount. This credit will not be processed if the appraised or assessed value is listed on this line. The form should then be emailed to Taxpayer Services at sctchelp@wv.gov.
Should you have questions or need additional information, please contact Taxpayer Services Division at 304-558-3333 or 1-800-982-8297.
