Residents in South Carolina are able to get a rebate of up to $800 as long as they have filed their 2021 tax returns.
The amount of the rebate is based on a person’s 2021 tax liability, which is the amount left over after subtracting credits from the income tax that the filer may owe.

For people whose tax liabilities are less than $800, their rebates will be equal to their tax liability, while filers with a tax liability equal to or over $800 will receive exactly $800, according to the South Carolina Department of Revenue. The Department of Revenue has capped the highest amount that people can receive from this rebate at $800, per the state.
People who have filed their 2021 SC1040 by Oct. 17 will receive this rebate before the end of the year. Anyone who received a 2021 refund by direct deposit will receive this rebate in the same bank account.
Those who file their returns after Oct. 17 have until Feb. 15, 2023, to file their returns to receive the payment, which will then arrive by March 2023.
