SCDOR statement on Income Tax conformity; April 15 filing deadline extended for SC returns

The SCDOR is aware that the South Carolina Legislature is working on House Bill 3368 to conform with the current Internal Revenue Code, including the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). If passed, the SCDOR will provide additional information as soon as possible, including guidance for taxpayers who have already filed their 2025 Individual Income Tax returns.

We understand that taxpayers may need additional time to file, so we are automatically extending the tax filing due date for all 2025 South Carolina Individual Income Tax returns to October 15, 2026. No action is required to take advantage of this filing extension.

This extension applies only to the deadline to file your return, not to pay what you owe. You will owe penalties if you do not pay at least 90% of your 2025 tax liability by April 15, 2026. MyDORWAY is the fastest, easiest way to pay your balance. Visit dor.sc.gov/pay and select Individual Income Tax Payment to get started.

If you are expecting a refund, you don't need to do anything except file your return by October 15.

The SCDOR will publish additional guidance and updates through our website and social media channels.
