                                                INSTRUCTIONS 
                                                                  
SC1041 K-1  
The SC1041 K-1, Beneficiary's Share of South Carolina Income, Deductions, Credits, Etc., is prepared by the estate or trust to show 
each beneficiary's share of the entity's income. Each item of income is adjusted as required by South Carolina law and allocated or 
apportioned to South Carolina or to states other than South Carolina. 
 
REMINDERS   
 You must add back the federal deduction for qualified business income provided in IRC Section 199A.  
 You must add back any charitable deduction for a gift of land under IRC Section 170 unless the intent of the donor meets the 
   requirements of SC Code Section 12-6-5590.  
 South Carolina specifically does not recognize IRC Section 168(k) bonus depreciation.  
 The SC8736 is the extension form for partnership and fiduciary returns.  
 An amended SC1041 must be filed whenever the IRS adjusts a federal 1041.  
 
FILING REQUIREMENTS  
The fiduciary of a resident estate or trust must file an SC1041, South Carolina Fiduciary Income Tax Return, if the estate or trust: 
 is required to file a federal Fiduciary Income Tax return for the taxable year  
 had any South Carolina taxable income for the taxable year 
 had a beneficiary who is a nonresident  
 
The fiduciary of a nonresident estate or trust must file a South Carolina Fiduciary Income Tax return if the estate or trust had income or 
gain that came from South Carolina sources.   
 
Income from South Carolina sources includes income or gain from:  
 real or tangible personal property located within South Carolina 
 a business, profession, or occupation carried on in South Carolina  
 services performed within South Carolina 
 
For a nonresident estate or trust, income from the following is not considered to come from South Carolina sources unless it is part of 
the income from a business, trade, profession, or occupation carried on within South Carolina: 
 annuities 
 interest 
 dividends 
 gain from the sale or exchange of intangible personal property  
 
RESIDENT AND NONRESIDENT ESTATES AND TRUSTS  
A resident estate is the estate of a person who was a South Carolina resident at the time of death. All other estates are nonresident 
estates.  
 
A resident trust is any trust administered in South Carolina. All other trusts are nonresident trusts, including a trust administered outside 
of South Carolina that is required to follow the laws of South Carolina for administration of the trust. 
 
WHEN AND WHERE TO FILE  
The South Carolina Fiduciary Income Tax return is due by the 15th day of the fourth month after the close of the taxable year. Failure to 
file the return by the due date may result in a penalty. If you need additional time to file your SC1041, you must request an extension 
by the due date of the return.  
 
The fastest, easiest way to request your extension to file is by paying your balance due using our free online tax portal, MyDORWAY, at 
dor.sc.gov/pay. Select Business Income Tax Payment to get started. Your payment on MyDORWAY automatically submits your 
filing extension request. No additional form or paperwork is required. You can also request an extension by filing a paper copy of the 
SC8736, available at dor.sc.gov/forms. 
 
The SCDOR will accept a federal extension instead of the SC8736 if the South Carolina Income Tax return does not have a 
balance due when the return is filed. If you use the federal extension instead of the SC8736, it is not necessary to send South 
Carolina a copy of the federal extension form. Attach a copy of the federal extension when you file your SC1041 within the extended 
period. Mark the Extension Requested box on page 1 of your SC1041. 
 
Taxpayers can file their SC1041 (along with their federal fiduciary return) electronically through Modernized Electronic Filing (MeF) in a 
single transmission using third party tax preparation software.  
 
If filing by paper, mail balance due returns to SCDOR, Taxable Fiduciary, PO Box 125, Columbia, SC 29214-0038.  
Mail refunds or zero tax returns to SCDOR, Nontaxable Fiduciary, PO Box 125, Columbia, SC 29214-0039.

                                                                 1

PAYMENT OF TAX  
The balance of tax due on page 1, line 20 of your SC1041 must be paid in full. Failure to pay your tax on time can result in penalty and 
interest. The fastest, easiest way to pay your balance due is by using our free online tax portal, MyDORWAY, at dor.sc.gov/pay. 
Select Business Income Tax Payment to get started. 
 
You can also attach a check to your SC1041. Include the name and FEIN of the estate or trust, SC1041, and the tax year in the memo. 
Do not send cash. 
 
If you owe $15,000 or more in connection with any SCDOR return, you must file and pay electronically according to SC Code Section 
12-54-250, available at dor.sc.gov/policy. 
 
ACCOUNTING PERIOD  
The accounting period and the method of accounting used for the SC1041 must be the same as that used for federal tax purposes. If 
the estate's or trust's taxable year method of accounting is changed for federal purposes, the change applies to the SC1041. 
 
FEDERAL ADJUSTMENTS   
Any taxpayer whose income has been adjusted by the IRS should report the adjustments to the SCDOR after the federal adjustments 
become final between the taxpayer and the IRS. File an amended SC1041 for the appropriate tax year to report the federal adjustment 
to the SCDOR. Attach a copy of the IRS revenue agent's report showing the adjustments. Mark the Amended return box on page 1 of 
your SC1041. 
 
FIDUCIARY REPORTING OBLIGATIONS TO BENEFICIARIES   
Fiduciaries must provide to each resident beneficiary the amount of fiduciary adjustment to be reported on the beneficiary's South 
Carolina Individual Income Tax return. (See column 4, Part II, page 2 of the SC1041.) Fiduciaries must also provide to each 
nonresident beneficiary the amount of the nonresident beneficiary's share of income and credits from Part IV, page 3 of the SC1041. 
Fiduciary adjustments, beneficiaries' shares of fiduciary adjustments, and beneficiaries' shares of income and credits are computed in 
Parts I, II, III, and IV, pages 2 and 3 of the SC1041. The following rules explain which of these parts should be completed.  
 
     If a resident estate or trust has only resident beneficiaries, or if no amounts are distributable to nonresident beneficiaries, only 
       complete Parts I and II.  
     If a resident estate or trust has nonresident beneficiaries, it is generally necessary to complete all parts. You do not have 
       to complete Part IV if amounts distributed to nonresidents are not taxable. 
     If all income of a resident estate or trust is taxable to the fiduciary and no distributions are made, or required to be made,  
       only Part I must be completed.  
     If a nonresident estate or trust has resident and/or nonresident beneficiaries, all parts must be completed. If all the income is 
       taxable to the fiduciary, only Parts III and V must be completed. 
 
DEDUCTIBILITY OF EXPENSES OF ADMINISTRATION   
Expenses of administering an estate must be deducted in the same way they are deducted for federal tax purposes. If these expenses 
are deducted on the federal 1041, they may be deducted on the SC1041. If these expenses are deducted for federal Estate Tax 
purposes, they may not be deducted on the SC1041. 
 
EXEMPT TRUST   
A trust exempt from federal Income Tax because of its purpose or activities is also exempt from South Carolina Income Tax. 
 
CHARITABLE REMAINDER TRUSTS    
South Carolina has adopted IRC Section 664, which outlines the basic rules for charitable remainder trusts. This means the South 
Carolina Income Tax treatment of these trusts is generally the same as for federal Income Tax. After preparing the required annual 
federal filing forms including Form 5227 (Split-Interest Trust Information Return), complete the information section on page 1 of the 
SC1041. At the top of page 1, type or print the following statement: 
 
    This is a charitable remainder trust as described in IRC Section 664. See attached Form 5227 for South Carolina income.  
                                                                      
To prepare federal Form 5227 for South Carolina income, prepare a separate federal Form 5227, taking into account the differences in 
federal and state taxable income. For a summary of these differences, see the instructions for Part I of the SC1041. Divide the South 
Carolina taxable income by the federal taxable income. Use that fraction to prorate the beneficiaries' South Carolina fiduciary 
adjustment. Indicate the proration on each SC1041 K-1 form. Attach copies of all federal forms filed in the year to the South Carolina 
forms. 
 
LINE INSTRUCTIONS 
 
Heading: Enter the name, address, FEIN, and county code of the estate or trust in the fields on page 1. Answer all questions at the top 
of the SC1041. County codes are listed in these instructions. 
 
Line 1 - Federal taxable income of fiduciary: Enter on line 1 the federal taxable income shown on page 1 of the federal 1041. 
Nonresident estates and trusts should enter on line 1 the amount reported on Part III, line 22, column D of the SC1041. See instructions 
for Part III - Computation of the Federal Taxable Income of the Estate or Trust from South Carolina Sources.

Line 2 - Federal fiduciary exemption:      Enter on line 2 the fiduciary exemption claimed on the Federal Fiduciary Income Tax return to 
the extent it is included in the amount reported on line 1. (See the federal 1041, available at irs.gov). 
 
Line 3 - Modifications related to principal or non-distributable income: Some of the modifications described in Part I may apply to 
gains allocated to principal or to other items not affecting federal distributable income. For example, gain (or loss) from sale of real 
estate located outside of South Carolina is not taxable to South Carolina. A line 3 modification is required if property sold has a different 
basis for South Carolina Income Tax purposes than it does for federal Income Tax purposes. An individual, trust, or estate may claim a 
deduction of 44% of net capital gain. The deduction is computed at the beneficiary level except for capital gains taxable to the trust or 
estate. Net capital gain is the excess of net long term capital gain over net short term capital loss, and is reduced by any carryover 
losses. If any of these or similar modifications apply, attach a schedule listing the adjustments. 
 
Line 4 - South Carolina fiduciary adjustment: A resident fiduciary should enter on line 4 its portion of the fiduciary adjustment from 
Part II, line 1, column 4. A nonresident estate or trust should not make adjustments on this line. See instructions for Part II - Allocation 
of South Carolina Fiduciary Adjustment. 
 
Line 5 - Net: Add amounts on line 1 through line 4. Enter the result on line 5. 
 
Line 6 - South Carolina fiduciary exemption: Enter the South Carolina fiduciary exemption on line 6. The South Carolina fiduciary 
exemption for a resident estate or trust is the same amount of exemption allowable for federal Income Tax purposes. Nonresident 
estates or trusts should complete Part V to determine the portion of the federal fiduciary exemption which is allowed as the South 
Carolina fiduciary exemption. See instructions for Part V - Nonresident Exemption Allowance of Fiduciary. 
 
Line 7 - South Carolina taxable income: Subtract line 6 from line 5 and enter the balance on line 7. Compute your tax on this amount. 
 
Line 8 - South Carolina tax: To determine the amount of the Fiduciary Income Tax liability, refer to this tax computation schedule, and 
compute the tax. Enter the amount on line 8.

Line 9 - South Carolina tax on lump sum distributions and/or on active trade or business income: If a resident estate or trust 
received a lump sum distribution and is taxed according to IRC Section 402(e), the resident estate or trust is also subject to a South 
Carolina tax on the lump sum distribution. Complete the SC4972, Tax on Lump-Sum Distributions, and attach to the return. If filing an 
I-335, Active Trade or Business Income Reduced Rate Computation, attach and include the amount of tax from line 9.  
 
Line 10 - Nonrefundable credits: Enter nonrefundable credits from the SC1040TC, 2023 Tax Credits. Attach the appropriate credit 
form. The credit may not exceed the sum of the tax on line 8 and line 9. 
 
Line 11 - Net tax: Add line 8 and line 9 less the amount on line 10. The balance cannot be less than zero. 
 
Line 12 - South Carolina tax withheld for nonresident beneficiaries: Estates and trusts are required to withhold taxes on each 
nonresident beneficiary's share of income from South Carolina sources. The withholding rate is computed at South Carolina's top 
marginal Individual Income Tax rate for the tax year. For information on income from South Carolina sources see                FILING 
REQUIREMENTS on page 1 of the instructions. Enter the amount withheld from each nonresident beneficiary in Part IV, column F. 
Prepare an SC41, Fiduciary Report on Nonresident Beneficiary Tax Withheld, for each nonresident beneficiary from whom an amount 
is withheld. A copy of this report must be forwarded to the beneficiary for whom the tax is withheld so that the beneficiary may attach it 
to their South Carolina Income Tax return. 
 
Note: A trust or estate is not required to withhold taxes from South Carolina taxable income of a nonresident beneficiary who submits 
an I-41, Nonresident Beneficiary Affidavit and Agreement Income Tax Withholding, and agrees to file returns and pay applicable taxes. 
The trust or estate must remit all I-41 Affidavits to the SCDOR. Attach the I-41 Affidavits to the SC1041 or SC8736, Request for

in the year of sale so as to include the entire gain in South Carolina taxable income. 
 
Line 1f - Total additions: Add line 1a through line 1e. Enter total on line 1f. 
 
MODIFICATIONS THAT DECREASE FEDERAL TAXABLE INCOME 
 
Line 2a - Interest on US obligations: Enter interest income received from obligations of the United States or its possessions to the 
extent it is included in line 1, page 1. 
                                                                4

   trust that was made from accumulated earnings from prior years, such amount may be excluded from the current South 
   Carolina fiduciary income to the extent it was reported in line 1, page 1. 
 Out-of-State Income: If you have reported income from a business, trade, or profession located outside South Carolina, enter 
   this amount on line 2d. Personal service income of a resident is taxable to South Carolina.

Line 5 - South Carolina fiduciary adjustment: Add line 3 and line 4. Enter the total on line 5.  
 
PART II - ALLOCATION OF SOUTH CAROLINA FIDUCIARY ADJUSTMENT   
 
The South Carolina fiduciary adjustment is divided among the beneficiaries and the fiduciary in proportion to their share of the federal 
distributable net income. If the separate share rule is being used, allocate the fiduciary adjustment accordingly. If there is no federal 
distributable net income, each beneficiary's share of the South Carolina fiduciary adjustment must be in proportion to each share of the 
estate or trust income distributed. Any balance of the South Carolina fiduciary adjustment not allocated to the beneficiaries is allocable 
to the fiduciary. The estate or trust must advise each beneficiary of their share of the South Carolina fiduciary adjustment. The amount 
reported in column 4 is the amount which the fiduciary is required to submit to each beneficiary. Part II provides for the computation of 
the fiduciary's and beneficiary's share of the federal distributable net income. The Part II percentages are used in dividing the South 
Carolina fiduciary adjustment for both resident or nonresident beneficiaries. 
 
Column 1 - Name of beneficiary: Enter the name of the beneficiary beside letters a-h. Check the box if the beneficiary is a 
nonresident of South Carolina and enter the SSN or FEIN. 
 
Column 2 - Shares of federal distributable net income: Total federal distributable net income must be the same as line 7, Schedule 
B of your federal 1041. 
 
Column 3 - Percent: Indicate percentages with two digits, such as 32%, 3.2% and .32%. 
 
Column 4 - Shares of South Carolina fiduciary adjustment: Enter the South Carolina Fiduciary Adjustment from Part 1, line 5 as the 
total of Column 4. Multiply each percentage in Column 3 by the total in Column 4. Indicate at the top of column 4 whether the 
adjustments are additions or subtractions. The amount after each name is reported as a modification, either an addition to or 
subtraction from federal taxable income. If the adjustment is a subtraction, it may not offset more than the amount reportable from the 
fiduciary for federal tax purposes (except in the final or termination year). Each resident beneficiary should add the explanation: 
Fiduciary adjustment - (name of estate or trust). A copy of this schedule (or its information) must be provided to each resident 
beneficiary. The fiduciary's share of the adjustment is entered on line 4 of page 1. 
 
Column 2 through Column 4:        Attach a detailed explanation of the allocation method used if there is no federal distributable net 
income, or if the percentages do not agree with the relative shares indicated on the federal 1041, Schedules B and K-1. For an estate 
or trust in which all beneficiaries are South Carolina residents, the remaining portion (Part III, Part IV, and Part V of page 3) of the return 
may be omitted. If a fiduciary has nonresident beneficiaries, Part III and Part IV must be completed.  
 
Signature: The fiduciary of the estate or trust must sign the Fiduciary Income Tax return. Check the Yes box for release of confidential 
information. This authorizes the Director of the SCDOR or delegate to discuss this return, its attachments, and any notices, 
adjustments, or assessments with the preparer whose name is provided.   
 
ATTACH COPY OF YOUR FEDERAL RETURN 
 
You must attach a copy of your federal Fiduciary Income Tax return as filed with the IRS (including all schedules) to your SC1041. 
Failure to attach a copy of your federal Fiduciary Income Tax return will cause a delay in the processing of your SC1041.

PART III - COMPUTATION OF FEDERAL TAXABLE INCOME OF THE ESTATE OR TRUST FROM SOUTH 
CAROLINA SOURCES 
 
Part III is to be completed by all resident estates and trusts with nonresident beneficiaries, and by all nonresident estates and trusts with 
income or gain from South Carolina sources. Nonresident estates or trusts should report to South Carolina only that part of their federal 
taxable income derived from South Carolina sources. See Income from South Carolina Sources under       FILING REQUIREMENTS for 
more information. In order to determine the income to be reported and the related modifications, complete Part III. 
 
Column B: Enter the total income or deductions reported or claimed on the federal Fiduciary Income Tax return for each item listed in 
column A. 
 
Column C: Enter the portion of each item of income reported in Column B that is derived from South Carolina sources. Use direct 
accounting whenever possible. Intangible income will not be considered to be from South Carolina sources except where it is a part of a 
business, trade, or occupation carried on in South Carolina. Any item entered in column C should reflect only the amount that remains 
after all modifications have been performed. 
 
 State or local Income Taxes deducted on the federal return would not be included in column C.  
 State Income Tax refunds reported as income on the federal return would not be included in column C.   
 Any income from other estates, trusts, or partnerships should be modified, if necessary, before the item is entered in      
   column C. 
 Capital gains from South Carolina sources should be entered in column C only if the gain is distributed to the beneficiaries.  
 Depreciation and depletion on income in respect of a decedent should be entered on the appropriate lines of column C 
   (whether or not passed directly to the beneficiaries).  
 Deductions should be directly allocated where possible. If it is not possible to directly relate those deductions to income from 
   South Carolina sources, they should be apportioned by multiplying the deductions by the ratio of total South Carolina income 
   (line 9, column C) divided by total federal income (line 9, column B).  
 Net income of the estate or trust from South Carolina sources, after all modifications, is to be entered on line 22, column C.  
 Enter on line 23, column C only the total percentages of all nonresident beneficiaries. These percentages come from Part II, 
   page 2.  
 Enter on line 24, column C the total income from South Carolina sources of all nonresident beneficiaries. This amount is 
   computed by multiplying line 22, column C by the percentage entered on line 23, Column C.   
 
Column D: Only nonresident fiduciaries complete this column. Enter the portion of column C applicable to the fiduciary. The amount to 
be entered in column D is computed by multiplying each entry in column C by the fiduciary's percentage of the South Carolina fiduciary 
adjustment as shown in Part II, page 2. A capital gain from South Carolina sources that is not distributed to the beneficiaries should be 
entered on line 4 of column D. Line 22, column D is the net income of the nonresident estate or trust from South Carolina sources 
applicable to the fiduciary which should be entered on line 1, page 1.  
 
PART IV - NONRESIDENT BENEFICIARIES' SHARES OF INCOME AND CREDITS  
 
Column A: Enter the names of the nonresident beneficiaries receiving distributable South Carolina income. If the SSNs or FEINs are 
not listed on either page 2 or on the SC41, attach a schedule of this information. It is important that the correct SSNs or FEINs be listed 
for each beneficiary to assure proper posting to their accounts. 
 
Column B: Enter each nonresident beneficiary's percentage as computed in Part II, page 2. 
 
Column C: Enter the capital gain (loss) reportable to South Carolina by each nonresident beneficiary.  
 
Column D: Enter each beneficiary's portion of the total ordinary income from South Carolina sources by multiplying column B by the 
amount on Part III, line 22, column C after subtracting any capital gain on line 4.  
 
Column E: Enter the amount of each nonresident beneficiary's income that is exempt from withholding by I-41 Affidavit. 
 
Column F: Add column C and column D and subtract column E amounts. Enter in column F withholding on these amounts for each 
beneficiary. The withholding is computed at South Carolina's top marginal Individual Income Tax rate for the tax year. The tax reported 
in column F is to be withheld by the fiduciary from the beneficiary. It is to be paid by the fiduciary to the state of South Carolina at the 
time Estimated Tax payments are due. If any tax is required to be withheld, complete the SC41 for each nonresident beneficiary.

                                                                 6

PART V - NONRESIDENT EXEMPTION ALLOWANCE FOR FIDUCIARY 
 
Part V is to be completed only by nonresident estates or trusts. This part is to assist in the computation of the exemption allowance 
available to the nonresident estate or trust. 
 
Line 1 - Exemption allowance per federal return: Enter the exemption allowance claimed on the federal Fiduciary Income Tax return. 
 
Line 2 - Ratio: Divide the amount shown on Part III, line 9, column D by the amount shown on  Part III, line 9, column B. 
 
Line 3 - South Carolina nonresident fiduciary exemption: Multiply the amount on line 1 by the percentage on line 2 and enter the 
result on Part V, line 3 and on line 6 on the SC1041.  
 
WHICH FIDUCIARIES MUST FILE A DECLARATION OF ESTIMATED TAX? 
Generally, a fiduciary must file a Declaration of Estimated Tax if the expected total amount of tax owed when the return is filed will be 
$100 or more. Estates are not required to file a Declaration of Estimated Tax for the first two tax years after the decedent's death. The 
fastest, easiest way to pay your balance due is by using our free online tax portal, MyDORWAY, at dor.sc.gov/pay. Select Business 
Income Tax Payment to get started. Do not submit the SC1041ES if you pay online. 
 
You can also attach a check to the completed SC1041ES, South Carolina Declaration of Estimated Tax for Fiduciaries. Include the 
name of the fiduciary, FEIN, SC1041ES, and the tax year in the memo. Do not send cash. Attach payment to the SC1041ES and mail 
to SCDOR, Estimated Tax, PO Box 125, Columbia, SC 29214-0038. The SC1041ES is available at dor.sc.gov/forms.  
 
Any fiduciary required to file a Declaration of Estimated Tax must estimate and pay at least 90% of the final actual tax liability or an 
amount equal to 100% of the tax from the prior year's return (if the return covered all twelve months of the year). Certain estates and 
trusts cannot base their Declaration of Estimated Tax on 100% of their prior year's tax liability. Estates and trusts with an adjusted gross 
income of more than $150,000 as shown on the return for the preceding tax year must pay 110% of their prior year's  tax liability. To 
compute adjusted gross income use federal guidelines and make South Carolina adjustments. Failure to meet the estimate 
requirements may subject the fiduciary to an underpayment penalty. Underpayment of estimate penalty is calculated on the SC2210. 
The SC2210 is available at dor.sc.gov/forms.

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.

 TAX WITHHELD FOR NONRESIDENT BENEFICIARIES 
  
 Under South Carolina (SC) law, the executor, administrator, or other fiduciary of an estate or trust is required to withhold on the amount 
 of SC taxable income distributable to each nonresident beneficiary. The withholding is computed at SC's top marginal Individual Income 
 Tax rate for the tax year. The amount withheld from each beneficiary will be reflected on Part IV, column F of the SC1041. Complete an 
 SC41 for each beneficiary from whom an amount is withheld. Be sure to put the current year in the space provided. 
  
 The SC41 may be submitted with the SC1041 or separately. If mailing separately, mail to SCDOR, Taxable Fiduciary, PO Box 125, 
 Columbia, SC 29214-0038.   
  
 Complete three copies and distribute them to: 
  the beneficiary from whom the tax is withheld, so that the beneficiary may attach it to their SC Income Tax return 
  the beneficiary, for their records 
  the fiduciary, for their records 
  
 The amount of tax withheld by the fiduciary should be claimed as SC Income Tax withheld on the SC Income Tax return. 
  
 Any Estimated Income Tax payments assigned to beneficiaries must be reported to them on the SC41, along with instructions 
 to enter this amount as tax withheld on their SC Income Tax return. The SC41 must be attached to the beneficiary's return to 
 claim this payment.
