Payment options

Pay on MyDORWAY

We recommend making payments on MyDORWAY, the SCDOR's free online tax portal.

You can make payments by:

Credit card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover)
ACH Debit (also known as e-check Electronic Funds Withdrawal)

What you should know about third-party payment websites like DOXO

The South Carolina Department of Revenue (SCDOR) urges customers to be cautious of third-party online bill payment websites, including DOXO, when attempting to pay their SCDOR bills online.

DOXO is not affiliated with the SCDOR, and we cannot accept responsibility for transactions made through that site. DOXO and sites like it may charge additional fees, and the SCDOR cannot control when payments made through the site will be received. Customers will be responsible for missed or late payments.

The SCDOR offers online bill payments through our online tax portal, MyDORWAY, even if you don't have a MyDORWAY account. There are no additional fees for paying on MyDORWAY. You can access the payment portal on MyDORWAY without logging in by doing one of the following:

Visit mydorway.dor.sc.gov and click Make a Payment
OR
Type dor.sc.gov/pay directly into your browser's web address bar
Example:

Please note that typing “dor.sc.gov/pay" or similar search terms into a search engine like Google, instead of directly into your browser’s web address bar (as shown in the example above), may return results for DOXO and other third-party sites.

Learn more about MyDORWAY >

Pay by ACH Credit

An Automated Clearing House (ACH) credit is when you “push” money from your account to someone else, such as a friend, family, business, or state agency.

For the SCDOR, you can pay most taxes with an ACH credit:

Paying by ACH credit requires you to instruct your bank (or financial institution) to originate an ACH transfer to the SCDOR’s bank.
Apply on MyDORWAY, the SCDOR's free and secure online tax portal, to obtain the required record addenda layout and banking information to complete your transaction.
Review the SCDOR ACH Credit Instructions to learn more.

Watch how to request ACH credit payment instructions using MyDORWAY.

If paying with a paper check, you should know...

The SCDOR only accepts paper checks drawn from a United States bank.
Paper checks may be converted to a debit (ACH) transaction which will process payments faster, and the payment will show as an electronic payment on bank statements (scanned check images will not show on bank statements).
Follow the instructions on your notice or form for mailing instructions.
