Fed/State On-Line (Home Filing) Program
Taxpayers will be able to transmit their 2007 federal and state income tax returns electronically in one transmission from their home computer. This method of filing is referred to as the Fed/State On-Line (home filing) Filing Program. Fed/State On-Line filing is available to taxpayers with the necessary computer hardware and use software that has been accepted by the IRS and the SC Department of Revenue specifically for the Fed/State On-Line (home filing) Filing Program.
You can pay your balance due by Electronic Funds Withdrawal (EFW). Funds are automatically withdrawn from your checking or savings account based on the payment date you select. EFW is a FREE service to taxpayers. However, you must pay your balance due in full by May 1, 2008 to avoid incurring penalties and interest. Selection of a date later than May 1, 2008 will result in penalties and interest being applied from April 15, 2008 until the payment date.
South Carolina participates in the State Only filing program that allows taxpayers to no longer be required to transmit both their federal and South Carolina returns simultaneously or to submit multiple state returns (example: may need to file both a North Carolina and South Carolina return) electronically. Please be advised that software developers may not offer the ability to file your federal and state returns separately. If the developer does offer the ability to file federal and state returns separately, you may be required to electronically file the federal return first before submitting a state return.
REMINDER: The South Carolina Department of Revenue no longer requires the submission of form SC8453 to complete the filing of a state return. The agency has been granted legal authority to require that On-Line filers retain the signed SC8453 with all supporting documents, such as W-2s and 1099s (with SC tax withheld), for a three (3) year period.
