Make sure you are remitting your withholding payments to the correct quarter. (Withholding payments are made to a quarter based on paycheck date, not the payroll period the paycheck is for).
Line 1 of the Form WH-1606 is for the amount withheld during only the fourth quarter. (Lines 7-10 are for annual information). **Does not apply to annual filers.**
Do not use prior year forms. Forms are updated on a yearly basis and using old forms may cause incorrect or delayed processing of your return.
All nine digits of the South Carolina withholding account number are required when submitting returns and payments.
WH-1605 is filed for the first three quarters. WH-1606 is filed for the fourth quarter only
If you are making 24 or more withholding payments in a year, or your withholding for a quarter exceeds $15,000, you must file and pay electronically.
