Upload your W-2 and 1099 forms by January 31

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - 1/7/2025

South Carolina employers and payroll service providers should submit their 2024 W-2 and 1099 forms to the SCDOR by Jan. 31, 2025.

If you file 10 or more W-2 or 1099 forms, remember – you’re required to submit them to the SCDOR using MyDORWAY, the SCDOR’s free online tax portal.

Last year, more than 21 percent of W-2 forms were filed after the January 31 deadline. However, taxpayers are advised to wait until they receive all W-2 and 1099 forms before filing their Individual Income Tax returns, making it vital for employers to submit these documents to the SCDOR by the deadline.

Ready to submit W-2 and 1099 forms on MyDORWAY? 

• Log into MyDORWAY (MyDORWAY.dor.sc.gov), click the More tab, and select either Upload W-2s or Upload 1099s.
  • New to MyDORWAY? Create an account at dor.sc.gov/mydorway-signup.
• Select the submission method that best suits your business:
  • Upload electronic W-2 (or 1099) file is best for employers with many employees and an accounting package with payroll modules that can generate the proper format file.
  • Upload Manual Excel File is best for employers that have up to 30 employees and do not have the ability to generate the proper file format from their accounting package.
• The SCDOR only accepts the 1099-R, 1099-NEC, and 1099-Misc forms electronically. You must submit other 1099 forms that withheld SC income using a paper form. Be sure to include a WH-1612 form with your submission.
• Visit dor.sc.gov/w2-upload​ for more information, including a step-by-step tutorial and file formatting details.​​​

When submitting W-2 and 1099 forms on MyDORWAY, avoid these common mistakes:​​

• Don’t submit a WH-1612 or paper copies of your W-2 and 1099 forms after filing electronically.
• Don’t use hyphens in the “numeric only” fields for SSNs, FEINs and Withholding account numbers.
• Only submit 1099 forms that withheld SC income.
• Remember to include Carriage Return/Line Feeds (CR/LF) in the file. The SCDOR will not accept files without them.
