SC Tax Relief for Certain Taxpayers Affected by Hurricane Irma
This page is updated as more information becomes available.
The South Carolina Department of Revenue is providing temporary tax relief to certain taxpayers affected by Hurricane Irma. Filing and payment deadlines for South Carolina returns and payments due between September 11, 2017 and October 13, 2017 will now be due October 13, 2017. This tax relief applies to taxpayers who reside in an affected county or who have businesses, tax records, or tax preparers in an affected county (below). Tax relief will also be granted to those located in federal disaster areas, such as Georgia and Florida. Taxpayers in other areas may be considered for relief on a case-by-case basis.
This relief covers taxes administered by the SCDOR or returns filed with the SCDOR, inlcuding taxpayers making quarterly estimated payments due September 15, 2017 and taxpayers required to file a sales tax return due September 20, 2017.
Tax relief will also be provided until October 13, 2017 for taxpayers with a valid extension that runs out on September 15, 2017 (e.g., S-corporations and partnerships).
This relief does not apply to current collection matters, including payments due during the period of September 11, 2017 through October 13, 2017, under any payment plan previously entered into with the SCDOR.
