GENERAL INFORMATION
General
A man and a woman can qualify for a one-time, nonrefundable, individual income tax credit of $25 for each individual ($50 for a
couple) by obtaining a South Carolina marriage license during the tax year that indicates that they successfully completed a qualifying
premarital preparation course within 12 months before applying for the license. 
Course requirements
To qualify for the credit, the course must have been taught by (a) a professional counselor licensed under Title 40, Chapter 75 of the
South Carolina Code, (b) an active member of the clergy in the course of his or her service as clergy, or (c) his or her designee who is
trained and skilled in premarital preparation. The couple must have attended a minimum of 6 hours of instruction together.
Course certification
The course provider must have issued a certificate of completion of the premarital preparation course at the time the couple completed
the course. The certificate must include the number of hours the couple completed together as well as the credentials of the course
provider.  
Marriage license requirements
To receive the credit, the couple must produce the certification when applying for the marriage license. A probate court judge or clerk
of court must certify on the marriage license that the couple met the requirements to qualify for the credit. The probate court judge or
clerk of court is not responsible to authenticate the information contained in the certification of completion unless the certification of
completion is wholly fraudulent on its face. 
Claiming the credit
The amount of the credit is $25 for each individual or $50 for the couple on a joint return. Any unused amount may not be carried
forward. The credit is only against South Carolina individual income tax. It may not be used against the marriage license fee or any
other type of tax. 

Social Security Privacy Act Disclosure 
It is mandatory that you provide your social security number on this tax form if you are an individual taking this credit. 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 SC Department of Revenue shall 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 Department of Revenue is limited
to the information necessary for the Department to fulfill its statutory duties. In most instances, once this information is collected by the
Department, 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.
