Net income, gain, loss and deductions includes interest income, dividends (less the exclusion allowed by IRC § 116), business income and loss, capital gains or losses (subject to the 60% long-term capital gains provisions of IRC § 1202), supplemental gains and losses, pensions and annuities (to the extent subject to federal taxation), rents, royalties, income from partnerships, estates, trusts, and S corporations, farm income and loss, unemployment compensation (to the extent) subject to federal taxation), interest on obligations of states other than Virginia, lump sum distributions, and other income such as gambling winnings, prizes and lottery winnings. "Net income, gain, loss and deductions from Virginia sources" means that attributable to property within Virginia, or to the conduct of a trade, business, occupation or profession within Virginia. Net income, gain, loss and deductions from Virginia sources includes salary, tips or wages earned in Virginia, gain on the sale of property located in Virginia, income or loss from a partnership, estate, trust, or S corporation doing business in Virginia, and income from intangible personal property employed by an individual in a business, trade, profession, or occupation carried on in Virginia.
