Go Green to save time and paper with MyDORWAY!
When you opt for paperless mailing and choose to upload requested documents, you help both our agency and the planet by reducing paper use and streamlining communications:

Paperless Mailing
Paperless mailing stops most paper letters and notices from being mailed to you, and instead you will receive those messages electronically to your MyDORWAY account.

	To view your notices, simply log in, select the More tab, and click View Letters. (The same way you can view copies of mail now.)
	You’ll receive a nightly email when you have received correspondence from the SCDOR.
	You can easily opt out of paperless mailing if you prefer to receive letters through the mail.

Paperless mailing FAQ

Why have I not received notices from the SCDOR recently?

Beginning June 27, 2022, the SCDOR stopped mailing most notices to MyDORWAY account holders, instead sending that correspondence electronically through MyDORWAY. If you haven’t received correspondence from the SCDOR recently, or you’re not receiving as much correspondence as you’re used to, log in to MyDORWAY to see your recent notices and letters

Will all my correspondence from the SCDOR come through my MyDORWAY account?

No. There are certain notices and letters that we are legally required to send through the mail.

How will I know if I receive new correspondence?

You will receive an email on days that you receive a new letter or notice. If we send you more than one letter in a day, you will only receive one email to notify you of all the letters from that day.

Make sure the email address associated with your MyDORWAY account is one that you check often. Log in to MyDORWAY and click Manage My Profile in the upper right of the screen to check or update your email address.
You can opt out of receiving these email notifications on the Settings tab, but it is not recommended.

Can I choose to keep receiving SCDOR correspondence through the mail?

Yes. Account holders can opt out of the paperless mailing option by logging in to MyDORWAY and selecting the Settings tab. On the next screen, click MyDORWAY, next to Mail Delivery, and change your preference to Mail.

Only MyDORWAY users with Individual or Business Owner access can change their mail preference. Users with Tax Account Manager access cannot change a business’s mail preference.

How will customers receive SCDOR correspondence if they don’t manage their accounts on MyDORWAY?

Customers without an active MyDORWAY account will continue to receive SCDOR correspondence through the mail.

Our Sign Up tutorial will walk you through the steps of creating a MyDORWAY account.
See how easy MyDORWAY makes managing your taxes in our Managing Your MyDORWAY Account tutorial.

As long as your MyDORWAY account is active, you will receive SCDOR correspondence through MyDORWAY, even if you do not log in regularly.

Document Upload
MyDORWAY's document upload instructions will be included in the messages you receive requesting that you send SCDOR specific documentation.

	Instead of mailing your documents back to us, you can upload them to MyDORWAY. This ensures they go directly where they need to, so we can process them faster.
	Click Upload Requested Documents from the MyDORWAY homepage, or if you are logged in to MyDORWAY, click the More tab.
	You’ll need an ID number, like your SSN or FEIN, and the Letter ID from the notice you received.
