About Virginia Schedule CR Instructions
Virginia Schedule CR instructions explain how to complete the Schedule CR credit computation schedule for Forms 760, 760PY, 763, and 765. Use the booklet to check the requirements for each credit you plan to claim, including limits, carryover periods, and supporting documents.
The 2025 PDF contains 12 pages, including a blank final page. Page 1 provides an index of credits and general guidance on refundable and nonrefundable credits. Pages 2 through 11 explain individual credits, with application and certification guidance where required. Page 2 also includes the Enterprise Zone Act credit carryover worksheet.
Have your current-year return, prior-year carryover records, and any credit approval letters or Schedule VK-1 information available. The booklet explains the order for using nonrefundable credits when they exceed the maximum available and identifies credits that have expired but may still have eligible carryovers.
The instructions are separate from the eight-page Schedule CR form. Download both PDFs for the same tax year. Read the section for your credit before entering an amount, since some credits require a separate application or certification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Here are answers to common questions about downloading, printing, and using 2025 Virginia Schedule CR Instructions.
Who should use the Virginia Schedule CR instructions?
Filers claiming a credit listed on Schedule CR should use these instructions with the schedule for the same year. The booklet covers Forms 760, 760PY, 763, and 765. Begin with the general instructions, then read the section for each credit you intend to claim.
Is the Schedule CR form included with the instructions?
No. The 2025 instruction booklet and Schedule CR are separate PDFs. Download Schedule CR for the credit calculation lines and totals. Match the tax year on the form and instructions before you begin.
Where can I find a particular credit in the booklet?
The index on page 1 lists each credit and its starting page. For example, the 2025 Enterprise Zone Act credit guidance and carryover worksheet are on page 2, and the Pass-Through Entity Elective Tax Payment Credit guidance is on page 11. Use the index in the corresponding year's booklet because page numbers can change.
Do the instructions explain credit carryovers?
Yes. Page 1 explains the order for claiming nonrefundable credits when the total exceeds the maximum credit available. The individual credit sections explain applicable carryover periods and limits. Keep records of prior-year amounts used and amounts remaining, and check whether a carryover is still within its allowed period.
Are supporting documents or separate applications required?
Requirements depend on the credit. The booklet identifies application procedures, certifications, approval letters, and other supporting documents where applicable. For the Pass-Through Entity Elective Tax Payment Credit, the instructions direct you to enclose Form 502 Schedule VK-1. Also review the enclosure list on page 8 of Schedule CR.
