                                                       INSTRUCTIONS
For tax years beginning after 2005, a South Carolina resident who meets the requirements for the federal credit allowed  under Internal 
Revenue Code (IRC) section 30B is eligible for a credit against South Carolina Corporate or Individual Income Tax for 20% of the 
federal credit amount before the phaseout. The credit in section 30B applies to: (1) qualified fuel cell vehicles; (2) advanced lean burn 
technology vehicles; (3) qualified hybrid vehicles; and (4) qualified alternative fuel vehicles. The credit does not apply to plug-in hybrid 
vehicles or all-electric vehicles. 
 
Manufacturers or domestic distributors of eligible vehicles are required to provide documents certifying the specific vehicle (make, 
model, and year) meets the IRC 30B requirements. The federal credit amount without the phaseout must be included. 
 
The South Carolina credit is calculated without using the phaseout in section 30B(f). Your car manufacturer or domestic distributor can 
provide the federal credit amount before the phaseout. Any unused portion of the South Carolina credit may be carried forward for the 
next five tax years. The federal provisions are deemed to be permanent law for purposes of the South Carolina credit.  
 
If you file by paper, attach to your Income Tax return. If you file electronically, keep a copy with your tax records. 
 
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.
