South Carolina residents have just over two weeks to file their 2021 taxes and receive a rebate of up to $800.
The tax rebate, which will be issued to recipients in March, is available for all South Carolina residents who file their 2021 taxes by Feb. 15, according to the state’s Department of Revenue.

The rebate amount depends on the applicant’s tax liability, which the revenue department defines as the amount of state income tax that a resident owes for the 2021 tax year. If a resident paid less than $800 in state taxes, the rebate will be equal to the amount they paid. Anyone who had to pay more than $800 in state taxes will receive $800 for the rebate.
The previous filing deadline set by the department for this rebate was Oct. 17, 2022. Those who filed their 2021 taxes by then received their rebate before the end of last year.
