The Virginia Employment Commission (VEC) is enhancing the security and accessibility of our Employer Self Service (ESS) system. Beginning August 1, 2026, users will no longer log in to ESS through the Virginia Department of Taxation website. Instead, users will access ESS through the VEC website and sign in using ID.me, a trusted identity verification provider.

What’s Changing

ID.me + VEC means you’ll enjoy a smoother login, stronger protection for your information, and quicker access to the services you need — all with less hassle. The existing ESS login method through Virginia Tax’s iFile will be turned off permanently on August 1, 2026, and employers will no longer be able to access iFile using their VEC account number. To continue using iFile to manage withholding and/or sales tax accounts with Virginia Tax after July 31, please log in to iFile using your FEIN. If you have questions for Virginia Tax, visit tax.virginia.gov/VEC

There will be no grace period or extension for this change. ESS users who have not completed ID.me setup will lose access to ESS immediately on August 1, 2026, until ID.me setup has been completed.

This affects ALL VEC ESS users — employers, authorized representatives, and third-party agents. While ESS access is changing, this does not impact the current TPA information submission process via Web Upload.

Beginning this summer, businesses will no longer be able to link their Virginia Tax and Virginia Employment Commission (VEC) accounts. If your accounts are currently linked, they will be uncoupled.

The IRS announced it will soon automatically abate three types of penalties — failure to file, failure to pay, and failure to deposit — for taxpayers with a history of timely compliance. The new process, called automatic exemption from penalty (AEP), replaces the long-standing first-time abatement (FTA) process, the IRS said in a Wednesday news release. “By automatically applying penalty relief, the IRS recognizes that taxpayers who historically pay on time should not have to make a formal request for relief that is routinely granted,” IRS CEO Frank Bisignano said in the release.

Under the new system, eligible taxpayers will no longer have to request penalty relief that the IRS says is routinely granted.
