                                                            INSTRUCTIONS 
                                                                  
 The South Carolina Housing Tax Credit is available to eligible owners of residential low-income rental buildings. The credit 
 applies to projects placed in service after January 1, 2020 and before December 31, 2030. 
  
 To be eligible for the credit, a project must receive an eligibility statement issued by the South Carolina Housing and 
 Finance Development Authority (SC Housing) certifying that the project qualifies for the credit and specifying the amount 
 of the credit allowed for the project. The eligibility statement must be issued after May 14, 2020. The credit amount is 
 equal to the federal low-income housing credit allowed under IRC Section 42. 
  
 In order to receive your eligibility statement, you must submit a report to SC Housing detailing how the credit will benefit 
 tenants at the project (for example, reduced rent) or why the credit is necessary for you to undertake the project. 
  
 You may claim the credit against your Income Taxes, License Fees, Bank Taxes, or Insurance Premium Taxes.  
  
 If a portion of any federal housing tax credit taken on a project is required to be recaptured, the taxpayer claiming a South 
 Carolina credit for that project is also required to recapture a portion of the South Carolina credit. To calculate the 
 recapture amount, use the TC-63R, available at dor.sc.gov/forms. 
  
 The credit, and any recaptured credit, must be allocated among some or all of the partners, members, or shareholders of 
 the entity owning the project. Allocation can be done in any manner agreed to, regardless of whether the partners, 
 members, or shareholders are allocated or allowed any portion of the federal housing credit. 
  
 Taxpayers receiving the credit from a pass-through entity should enter the name and FEIN of the entity earning the credit. 
 Enter the amount of credit received from the entity on line 2.

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.
