The Batch Withholding Program 

If you file 10 or more South Carolina Withholding returns in a quarter, consider using our Batch Withholding Program to quickly and easily file online. In one file, you can report the information normally submitted on the SC Withholding Quarterly Tax Return (WH-1605) or SC Withholding Fourth Quarter/Annual Reconciliation Tax Return (WH-1606) for multiple clients.

Prep​​arers filing more than ​100 returns
