INSTRUCTIONS
A taxpayer who has a contract with the state of South Carolina and subcontracts with a socially and economically
disadvantaged small business may claim an Income Tax credit of 4% of the payments to that subcontractor for work
related to the contract. The subcontractor must be certified as a socially and economically disadvantaged small business
as defined in SC Code Section 11-35-5010 and associated regulations. Review the code section at dor.sc.gov/policy.
The credit used may not exceed $50,000 in a single year. The credit may be claimed for 10 consecutive tax years
beginning with the tax year in which the first payment is made to a qualifying subcontractor. After 10 consecutive taxable
years, the taxpayer is no longer eligible for the credit.
A taxpayer claiming the credit must maintain evidence of work performed for the contract by the subcontractor.
If filing a paper return, attach to your Income Tax Return. If filing 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.
