The window for South Carolina residents to file their 2021 taxes and receive a rebate of up to $800 will close in under three weeks.
This tax rebate is available for all South Carolina residents so long as they have filed their 2021 taxes by Feb. 15. The rebate payments will then be issued to recipients the following month in March, according to the state’s Department of Revenue.

The size of the rebate that applicants will receive will depend on their tax liability, which the department defines as the amount of state income tax that a South Carolina resident owes for the 2021 tax year. If a resident’s tax liability is less than $800, the rebate amount will be equal to the tax liability, and anyone whose tax liability is greater than $800 will receive $800.
The amount of money that residents receive may not be as high as their tax liability if they have an outstanding individual income tax bill with the department. This outstanding amount will be subtracted from the rebate amount that a recipient would receive.
The previous filing deadline the department had set for this rebate was Oct. 17, 2022. Those who filed their 2021 taxes by then received their rebate before the end of last year.
