Virginia issued bonus tax refunds of $250 for individuals and $500 for married couples who qualified.

South Carolina
Residents of South Carolina who file a 2021 South Carolina income tax return before February 15, 2023, and have a tax liability are eligible for a tax rebate.

Depending on when you filed your tax return, South Carolina has divided the rebates into two periods due to Hurricane Ian. Those who filed their taxes before October 17, 2022, should have already gotten their refund.
Individuals who submit after October 17, 2022, and before February 15, 2023, will receive their refunds by March 31, 2023.
New Mexico
New Mexico entered the two tax rebates club for its inhabitants in 2022, and according to a recent news article, the state may be contemplating a third round for 2023, although this has not yet been decided.
The initial $500 tax rebate is available to married couples filing joint returns, heads of household, and surviving spouses with 2012 incomes of less than $150,000, as well as to single filers and married people filing separately with incomes of less than $75,000.
To receive it, everyone must have filed a 2021 New Mexico tax return, and no one can claim you as a dependent.
The second tax rebate offers $1,000 to joint filers, heads of household, and surviving spouses, and $500 to single filers and married residents filing separately.
If your return is filed by May 23, 2023, you will continue to receive payments from the state of New Mexico well into 2023, beginning in the summer of 2022.
