    New to MyDORWAY? Check out our 
    tutorials.

  2. Choose your submission method: Select the method that best suits your business, regardless of the number of employees you have.​​
    • Upload electronic W-2 (or 1099) file
    • Upload Manual Excel File
      • This option is best for employers that have up to 30 employees and do not have the ability to generate the proper file format from their accounting package. In the W-2/1099 portal in MyDORWAY, the SCDOR will provide an Excel framework file where employers manually enter information and confirm calculations.​ For EFW2C file specifications see SSA Publication No. 42-014. For W-2G and 1099 file specifications see IRS Publication 1220​.

Information you will need to provide:

  • The FEIN​
  • The following information for each employee: full Social Security Number (SSN), first name, middle initial, last name, suffix, location address (attention, suite, room number, etc.), delivery address, city, state abbreviation, zip code, zip code extension, employee's Income Tax reporting, employee's wages, tips, other compensation (dollars and cents), employee's state taxable wages (dollars and cents), and the employee's state Income Tax withheld (dollars and cents).



Frequently Asked Questions:


You cannot submit changes or corrections on MyDORWAY but you can cancel and resubmit a new, corrected file prior to the end of the business day of the original file being submitted. If you need to have a file canceled after the original filing day, contact the SCDOR Withholding section at 803-896-1450.
No, you can only enter W-2 or 1099 information for the current year and the four prior years. (Example: In 2023, you will be able to submit W-2 or 1099 information for tax years 2019 through 2023.) If a business closes during a calendar year and the W-2 or 1099 forms are prepared, they can be filed at that time to ensure compliance. If W-2 forms are filed at this time, they should not be filed again at year end. The required Form WH1606 Fourth Quarter/Annual Reconciliation form can also be filed at any time during the year.​
No, Comma Separated Value (.csv) files are no longer supported. If your software is only producing a .csv file you should contact your software provider for help producing the correct file type.
