    South Carolina accepts Resident, Nonresident, and Part-year returns electronically. They can be transmitted with the Federal return or transmitted as a State only return.The South Carolina General Assembly has enacted legislation under Section 12-54-250 of the SC Code of Laws that allows the SC Department of Revenue to mandate electronic filing if the tax return preparer prepares 100 or more returns for a tax period for the same tax year. This is enabling legislation beginning with tax year 2007 and provides the authority to the SC DOR to enforce the mandate. Tax preparers are required to keep Form SC-8453 on file for a period of three years. Do not mail the forms to the state.
