REBATE REMINDER: NOTIFY SCDOR NOW OF ADDRESS, BANK ACCOUNT CHANGES

What you need to know:

If you are eligible for a rebate and have not changed your address or banking information since filing your return, you need not do anything to receive your rebate.
If you filed your return before October 17 and have changed your address or banking information since filing, notify the SCDOR using the SC5000 by November 1, 2022.
Those who file a return between October 18, 2022 and February 15, 2023 should notify the SCDOR of any address change by March 1, 2023.

More than 2,000 taxpayers have notified the South Carolina Department of Revenue (SCDOR) of a new address in time to receive a state tax rebate this year.

If you've changed your address since you filed your South Carolina Individual Income Tax return this year, you need to notify the SCDOR of your new address by November 1 if you want to get your rebate by December 31.

If you received your 2021 refund as a direct deposit and no longer have access to the same bank account, you can also use the SC5000 to request a paper check rebate.

To change your address:

Download, complete, and sign the SC5000 and email it to SCRebate@dor.sc.gov by November 1, 2022.
The SCDOR prefers you digitally sign the form and send it directly through the button on the SC5000. If you don't use the button, you can attach it as a PDF to an email.
Please avoid these common mistakes:

failing to sign the form
forgetting to check the box for change of address
sending the form to the SCDOR in a format that cannot be opened, such as an encrypted PDF, using Google Drive, or sharing with a PDF viewer

If you don't receive an automatic reply from the SCDOR after submitting your SC5000, we have not received it. If there are any problems with the form you send, the SCDOR will reach out to you.

Other rebate reminders:

SC taxpayers who want to receive their state tax rebate before the end of this year must file their returns by today, October 17, 2022.
Following an IRS decision to postpone federal extension deadlines to February 15, 2023, South Carolina taxpayers who requested an extension can also wait until then to file their state 2021 returns.
However, those who wait until after the original October 17 deadline to file their Individual Income Tax return will not receive a rebate until March 2023.

After October 17, the SCDOR will calculate the cap and begin issuing rebates. All rebates for those who filed by October 17 will be issued by December 31, 2022.
