​What to expect when submitting your fil​es on MyDORWAY

  • File specs will remain the same.
  • You must submit valid FEINs and Withholding file numbers in Batch Withholding files to avoid your entire batch file from being rejected by MyDORWAY.
  • ​You’ll be required to submit a Batch Backup Report at the time you submit your Batch Withholding file, and the file must be saved in one of the following formats: .xls, .xlsx, .csv, or .pdf
  • ​After you’ve submitted your Batch Withholding file, you will receive an immediate confirmation from MyDORWAY. ​

Preparers now have quicker payment options​

You can now submit a MyDORWAY request for ACH Credit payment approval for a client, which immediately gives preparers ACH Credit banking and format details.

  • This can be done for any tax type that accepts ACH Credit payments!

See how to request​ ACH credit payment instructions in MyDORWAY​.

Bulk Withholding Debit Payments allows preparers to make ACH Debit payments from one bank account for multiple Withholding accounts.

  • ​​This is only allowed for Withholding pre-payments.
  • Preparers must have a valid name, FEIN, and Withholding file number.
  • To receive access to the Bulk Withholding Debit Payment option, preparers must submit a Batch Withholding Program Application.
  • Preparers do not have to submit Batch Withholding files to submit bulk debit payments.
Best practices for uploading your batch​ returns

For each reporting file:

  • Only one return type (WH-1605 or WH-1606) may be included in a file.
  • All records must contain a valid FEIN and 9-digit South Carolina Withholding file number.
  • After you’ve submitted your Batch Withholding file, you must attach a Backup Report. The Backup Report must be in the order of SC Withholding file numbers and contain:
    • SC Withholding file number
    • FEIN
    • Business name
    • Total tax withheld
    • Total payments 

If your company submits multiple files per quarter, we recommend submitting only one file per day.

The name of your batch file should be submitted in the following format with no spaces:

  • Batch Filer Company Name + Submitted Date (in MMDDYYYY format)
  • Saved in .txt file format (or the file will not be processed)

    File name example: CompanyName07192021.txt

  • The name of the file containing the Batch Backup Report must also contain the Batch Filer Company Name and the Submitted Date (MMDDYYYY), with no spaces, and is preferred in PDF format.
    • File name example: CompanyName07192021.pdf   
  • ​This document must be uploaded at the same time as the Batch Withholding file upload.

However, your file can contain amended returns for those return types as well.​

Can I make payments through the Batch Withholding Program?

While payments cannot be made as part of your return filing, several different payment options are available for participants to initiate separately:

Bulk Withholding ACH Debit Payments

If you have access to the Batch Withholding Program, you also have access to make Bulk Withholding ACH Debit Payments.

To get started:

  1. Log in to MyDORWAY.
  2. Select the More tab.
  3. On the next screen, click Bulk Withholding ACH Debit Payment.

You do not have to submit Batch Withholding returns to make Bulk Withholding payments; however, you do need to submit the Batch Withholding Program Application.

You can apply on MyD​ORWAY to make ACH Credit payments.
