                                             FILING AMENDED RETURNS 
For tax years 2018 and before, use the SC1040X to correct or change the SC1040 that you have previously filed. For tax 
year 2019 and later, amend your return using the SC1040, marking the amended return check box and attaching the 
Schedule AMD. An amended return can be filed only    after you have filed an original return. By filing an amended return 
you are correcting our tax records. An amended return is necessary if you omitted income, claimed deductions or credits 
you were not entitled to, failed to claim deductions or credits you were entitled to, or changed your filing status. You 
should also file an amended return if you were audited by the IRS (unless the IRS audit had no impact on your state 
return). Your amended return may result in either a refund or additional tax. You must pay any additional tax with the 
amended return. Furnish all information requested. When items are in question, refer to the instructions for preparing the 
SC1040, SC1040TC, I-385, or I-319 when applicable. Be sure to include a copy of your federal 1040X if you were 
required to amend your federal return. Round all amounts to the nearest dollar. Any overpayments will be refunded. 
Overpayments cannot be transferred to another tax year. 
NOTE: South Carolina law does not allow a net operating loss carryback.
If you filed your original return by the original due date or by an extended due date, if applicable, you must file any claim 
for refund within either: 
three years from the date of filing, or 
three years from the original due date, or 
two years from the date of payment 

If you filed your original return after the original due date and any extended due date, if applicable, you must file any claim 
for refund within either: 
three years from the original due date, or 
two years from the date of payment 

When amending a return for tax year 2018 and before, use the most current revision of the SC1040X regardless of 
tax year. Use the Tax Tables, SC1040TT, for the tax year that is being amended. Find forms at dor.sc.gov/forms.
