How this affects the 2022 reba​te

The South Carolina Department of Revenue is issuing close to one billion dollars in tax rebates to eligible taxpayers. Originally, a taxpayer must have filed their 2021 SC Individual Income Tax return by October 17, 2022 to be eligible. The Hurricane Ian tax relief extended that deadline to February 15, 2023.

Eligible filers can expect to receive their rebate by March 2023, If they filed from October 18, 2022 through February 15, 2023​. (Those who filed by October 17, 2022 received their rebate before January 1, 2023.)
