The IRS began accepting corporate federal returns electronically in 2004.  South Carolina's participation in Fed/State Corporate filing was delayed until September, 2007.  This delay allowed potential software developers and the SC DOR time to test and implement this program.

In early September, the SC Department of Revenue moved to production with the IRS and accepted CCH as an approved developer for Fed/State Corporate filing for tax year 2006.  As of April 1st of 2007, three developers have been certified/approved for TY2007.  Those developers are CCH, UltraTax, and Drake.  There are other developers testing for tax year 2007.  Production or LIVE returns have already been received and procesed for TY2006 and TY2007. 

Fed/State Electronic Filing for Corporations will provide taxpayers the ability to file both their federal and South Carolina corporate returns electronically in one transmission or in separate transmissions with the IRS.  By participating in Fed/State Corporate filing, the DOR continues to offer new electronic filing/payment options to the taxpayers of South Carolina.
