                                 Instructions 
                                           
Claim this credit if: 
 1.  You lived in a state that taxed your retirement contributions at the time they were made into a qualified retirement 
     plan; and  
 2.  You are now a South Carolina resident reporting this retirement income and claiming the retirement deduction. 
       
You are not eligible for this credit if you are a South Carolina resident making contributions to retirement plans in 
the current tax year. 
 
The retirement plan must be: 
 1.  A qualified retirement plan as defined in IRC Sections 401, 403, 408, and 457, including military retirement and all 
     public employee retirement plans of federal, state, and local governments; and  
 2.  A retirement plan you became vested in while residing in the other state. 
 
Calculating the credit: 
The credit amount is based on your life expectancy at the time you first claim the retirement deduction on line p of 
     the SC1040. Use the life expectancy table found in Appendix B of Publication 590-B at irs.gov. 
The total credit you can claim is limited to the amount of contributions taxed by the other state multiplied by 7% 
     (South Carolina's highest marginal rate for Individual Income Tax). 

Example: John Doe moved to South Carolina from State Y. He lived in State Y for four years. State Y taxed his IRA 
contributions for each of those years, even though the contributions were exempt on his federal returns.  
Mr. Doe's W2s for four years while a resident of State Y show the following amounts: 

          Tax           IRS      State Y                                     State Y            State Y  
          Year          Taxed    Taxed     Difference                        Tax Rate           Tax Paid  
          1             $45,000  $49,000   $4,000                            2%                 $80 
          2             $48,000  $53,000   $5,000                            2.2%               $110  
          3             $51,000  $57,000   $6,000                            2.4%               $144  
          4             $54,000  $61,000   $7,000                            2.6%               $182  
          Total:                                                                                    

Mr. Doe paid a total tax of $516 to State Y on his retirement contributions. 
 
He is entitled to a credit based on his life expectancy at the time he first claims a retirement deduction. According to

Mr. Doe completes the TC-29 as follows:

1.  Total qualified retirement plan contributions taxed by another state......................  1. $   22,000 
2.  Total taxes paid to another state on contributions listed on line 1........................ 2. $   516 
3.  Life expectancy from Appendix B of Publication 590-B based on age at the time the                      
     South Carolina retirement deduction is first claimed ................................... 3.       32.3   years
4.  Annual credit (divide line 2 by line 3). Enter here and on the SC1040TC ................. 4. $     16 
5.  South Carolina credit limitation (multiply line 1 by 7%) ................................. 5. $    1,540 
6.  Total credit limitation (enter the lesser of line 2 and line 5).............................. 6. $ 516

Mr. Doe's annual credit equals $516 (the total tax paid to State Y) divided by 32.3 (his life expectancy when he first 
claims the retirement deduction), or $16. Mr. Doe will take this $16 credit each year he has retirement income in South 
Carolina that was taxed to State Y when originally contributed, but the total amount of credits he takes over his lifetime 
cannot be greater than $516.

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
