South Carolina residents have nine days to file their 2021 tax returns to be eligible for a rebate of up to $800.
The rebate’s amount depends on a person’s 2021 tax liability, which is the amount left over after subtracting credits from the income tax that the person 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, according to the state.
People who filed their 2021 SC1040 tax return back in October 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.
Residents who have not yet filed or did not file by Oct. 17 have until Feb. 15, 2023, to file their returns to receive the payment, which will then arrive by March 2023.
