Frequently Asked Questions
Form SC4868 is used to request a six-month extension to file a South Carolina individual income tax return. It applies to individual income taxpayers, as well as certain nonresident S Corporation shareholders and nonresident partners of Partnerships or LLCs.
Partnerships filing Form SC1065 and fiduciaries filing Form SC1041 must use Form SC8736 instead.
You can request an extension by filing Form SC4868 by the original due date of your return.
The easiest option is to make your payment through MyDORWAY. When you make the payment online, the payment automatically submits your extension request, so you do not need to mail a paper Form SC4868.
An extension gives you more time to file your return, but it does not extend the time to pay your tax.
Failure-to-pay penalty
- A 0.5% penalty per month may apply if you do not pay at least 90% of your total tax due by the original due date.
- The penalty applies to the difference between the amount paid with the extension and the remaining tax due.
Interest
- Interest accrues from the original due date on any unpaid tax.
- The interest rate is based on the applicable federal rate.
No. Form SC4868 only extends the time to file your South Carolina tax return.
You must pay your balance due with the extension request. Paying at least 90% of your total tax due by the original due date can help avoid the failure-to-pay penalty.
Not necessarily.
If you filed a federal extension and no South Carolina income tax is due, South Carolina accepts a copy of the federal extension. You do not need to send the copy to the state by the extension due date. Instead, mark the Extension box on your South Carolina return when you file.
If you are filing a paper Form SC4868, mail the completed form along with your payment to:
South Carolina Department of Revenue

PO Box 100123
