INSTRUCTIONS
General information: S Corporations are required to withhold 5% of the South Carolina taxable income of shareholders
who are nonresidents of South Carolina.
Due dates: To avoid penalty and interest, file the SC1120S-WH and submit your Withholding Tax payment by the 15th
day of the third month following the S Corporation’s taxable year end. No extension of time to file or pay can be
granted for the SC1120S-WH. For more information, refer to SC Code Section 12-8-590(A), available at dor.sc.gov/policy.
Payments: Pay online using our free tax portal, MyDORWAY, at dor.sc.gov/pay. Select Business Income Tax Payment
to get started. Payments of $15,000 or more must be submitted electronically according to SC Code Section 12-54-250.
The SC1120S-WH cannot be filed electronically.
If you pay on MyDORWAY, you must still mail your completed SC1120S-WH to:
SCDOR
Corporate Taxable
PO Box 100151
Columbia, SC 29202
If you pay by check, make payable to SCDOR and include your business name, FEIN, and SC1120S-WH in the memo.
Line instructions:
Heading: Enter the SC corporate file number, FEIN, and Income Tax period ending date of your S Corporation.
Enter the name and mailing address of your S Corporation.
Line 1: Enter the South Carolina income taxed to the shareholders of your S Corporation. This amount is on line 7 of
your SC1120S. Reduce the line 7 amount by any income that was directly allocated to the shareholders. If you are
requesting an extension of time to file your SC1120S, estimate the amount of South Carolina taxable income on line 1
of the SC1120S-WH. There is no extension of time to file the SC1120S-WH.
Line 2: Enter the amount of income from line 1 that is taxable to nonresident shareholders.
Line 3: Enter the income allocated to nonresident shareholders but exempt from withholding. Nonresident
shareholders are exempt from withholding if they:
• have provided an I-309 affidavit,
• are included on a composite Individual Income Tax return, or
• are a tax exempt entity
Include the I-309 Nonresident Shareholder Affidavits and the I-338 Composite Return Affidavits if they have not
previously been filed with the SCDOR.
Line 4: Subtract the amount on line 3 from the amount on line 2. This is your South Carolina income subject to
withholding.
Line 5: Multiply line 4 by 5%. This is the amount of Withholding Tax due.
Line 6: Enter the amounts withheld on an I-290 or passed through from other entities on a 1099-MISC. If claimed here,
do not claim on your SC1120S.
