                                                     INSTRUCTIONS
This credit is available for rehabilitation expenses incurred renovating a certified historic residential structure. To be 
eligible, expenses must have been incurred after tax year 2002, and the property must be placed in service after June 30, 
2002. 
 
The credit is 25% of rehabilitation expenses, which must exceed $15,000 within a 36-month period. The credit has to be 
taken in equal installments over a three-year period. Any unused amount from an installment can be carried forward for 
five years. You may not claim more than one credit on the same certified historic residential structure within 10 years. 
 
Before any work begins, contact the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) to review all repairs, alterations, 
rehabilitation, and new construction on the certified historic residential structure and the property on which it is located. 
Repairs or alterations must be consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. 
 
When the work is complete, you must receive certification from the SHPO verifying that the project meets the Standards 
for Rehabilitation. Any additional work completed in the five years after the credit was taken must be consistent with the 
Standards for Rehabilitation. The SHPO has the right to inspect. If the SHPO finds that additional work doesn't meet the 
Standards for Rehabilitation, you must forfeit any unused credit, including any amounts carried forward. You may appeal 
SHPO decisions with the State Review Board. 
 
Complete a separate TC-22 for each rehabilitated property. Learn more about this credit on the South Carolina 
Department of Archives and History's website, scdah.sc.gov. 
 
Complete a TC-21 if claiming a credit for qualified rehabilitation expenditures for a certified historic structure that also 
qualifies for a federal credit under IRC Section 47.

An owner-occupied residence is a building or portion of a building in which you have an ownership interest. After being 
placed in service, the building is your residence and is not actively used in a trade or business, held for the production of 
income, or held for sales or disposition in the ordinary course of your trade or business. 
 
A property is placed in service when the rehabilitation is completed and allows for the intended use. 
 
Rehabilitation expenses are expenses that you incurred in the certified rehabilitation of a certified historic residential 
structure. They must be paid before the credit is claimed. 
 
Rehabilitation expenses include expenses for:  
preservation and rehabilitation work done to the exterior of a certified historic residential structure  
repair and stabilization of historic structural systems  
restoration of historic plaster  
energy efficiency measures (excluding insulation in frame walls)  
repairs or rehabilitation of heating, air-conditioning, or ventilating systems  
repairs or rehabilitation of electrical or plumbing systems (excluding new electrical appliances and electrical or 
       plumbing fixtures)  
architectural and engineering fees 
 
Rehabilitation expenses do not include:  
the cost of acquiring or marketing the property  
the cost of new construction beyond the volume of the existing certified historic residential structure  
the value of an owner's personal labor  
the cost of personal property 
 
Line Instructions

and placed in service during this tax year. 
 
For projects with rehabilitation expenses of $500,000 or greater, a taxpayer claiming a credit must pay a preliminary fee 
and final fee to the SCDAH. The fee schedule is located in SC Code Section 12-6-3535, available at dor.sc.gov/policy. 
When filing the TC-22, include a copy of the documentation from the SCDAH confirming that you have paid the fees. 
 
Line 2: The credit amount is 25% of the rehabilitation expenses. 
 
Line 3: The credit is claimed in equal installments over a three-year period beginning with the tax year that the property is 
placed in service. To calculate the installment amount in the year the property is placed in service, divide line 2 by 3. If the 
property was placed in service in a prior year, enter the amount from line 3 of last year's TC-22. 
 
Line 4: You can carry annual installments that exceed your tax liability forward for up to five consecutive years. 
 
Line 5: The total available credit is the amount of this year's annual installment plus any amount carried forward from prior 
years. 
 
Line 6: The credit you claim cannot exceed your tax liability for the year. 
 
Line 7: The allowable credit is the lesser of the available credit and this year's tax liability. 
 
Line 8: The amount of unused credit. Unused installments of credit may be carried forward for five consecutive years.

Social Security Privacy Act Disclosure 
It is mandatory that you provide your Social Security Number on this tax form if you are an individual taxpayer. 42 U.S.C. 405(c)(2)(C)(i) 
permits a state to use an individual's Social Security Number as means of identification in administration of any tax. SC Regulation 
117-201 mandates that any person required to make a return to the SCDOR must provide identifying numbers, as prescribed, for 
securing proper identification. Your Social Security Number is used for identification purposes. 

The Family Privacy Protection Act 
Under the Family Privacy Protection Act, the collection of personal information from citizens by the SCDOR is limited to the information 
necessary for the SCDOR to fulfill its statutory duties. In most instances, once this information is collected by the SCDOR, it is protected 
by law from public disclosure. In those situations where public disclosure is not prohibited, the Family Privacy Protection Act prevents 
such information from being used by third parties for commercial solicitation purposes.
