Semester Credit Hours Requirement A student attending only the spring or fall semester must complete 15 credit hours during the semester attended. Exceptions to the credit hours requirement apply for the following colleges: College Semester Credit Hours Required Converse Wofford 12 12 Summer credit hours do not count toward the semester requirement for credit hours. You cannot claim Tuition Tax Credits for more than four consecutive years after the date of enrollment in an eligible college or university. An extension of the 4-year credit period may be granted due to medical necessity as defined by the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education (SCCHE). Direct your questions concerning medical necessity to your college or university's Office of Disability Services. Qualified Tuition: Qualified tuition is the amount charged by a college or university as a condition of enrollment and includes required fees. The cost of dorm rooms, books, and meals are not included in tuition. Tuition Limit: A tuition limit ($12,268 for 2023) applies to students at independent 4-year colleges and universities. The tuition limit is the average tuition paid to public 4-year colleges and universities other than technical or research schools. The tuition limit is determined each year by the SCCHE. If the student did not attend a full year of college in 2023, calculate the tuition limit by multiplying $12,268 by the credit hours that apply to all terms attended, and then dividing the result by the annual 30-hour requirement. For the following schools, when a student attends the spring or fall semester, but not both, multiply the tuition limit by the total credit hours assigned to all terms attended (including interim terms) and divide by the annual credit hour requirement. College Converse Wofford Semester 12 12 + Interim/Other 6 4 Example: Student, a senior at Converse in 2023, completes 6 credit hours in the interim term and 12 credit hours in the spring semester (18 credit hours total) before graduating. Student's tuition limit is $7,361 ($12,268 x 18 ÷ 30). At all other independent 4-year institutions, the tuition limit when a student attends the spring or fall semester, but not both, is $6,134 ($12,268 x 15 required semester hours ÷ 30 hours annual requirement). Scholarships or Grants: Before calculating the credit, deduct any scholarships or grants used to pay qualified tuition. Do not deduct any scholarships or grants that do not reduce tuition and are not used to pay tuition. Scholarships or grants include: • academic scholarships • athletic scholarships • South Carolina Tuition Grants • Pell Grants • Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants Scholarships or grants do not include: • student loans • IRC Section 127 educational assistance plans • payment for teaching, research or other services • veteran educational assistance benefits Information For Students With Disabilities: Eligible institutions may authorize equivalent credit hours for those students with a disability as certified under the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 594 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Attach the CHE-400, Students with Disabilities Tuition Tax Credit Verification, to your return. The CHE-400 is available at dor.sc.gov/forms. Frequently Asked Questions: What if more than one person pays the tuition? If an eligible student and a qualifying individual have both contributed to paying qualified tuition, they may each claim the credit. To determine each individual's credit, multiply the total credit by the tuition paid by the individual and divide by the amount paid by both. Complete an I-319 for each individual, and attach to each return. Example: Student pays $2,000 in tuition. Parent pays the remaining $6,000. If together they are entitled to the maximum $1,500 credit, Student is entitled to $375 ($1,500 x $2,000 ÷ $8,000) and Parent is entitled to $1,125 ($1,500 x $6,000 ÷ $8,000). When may an ineligible student later become eligible? • A student in default of a student loan may qualify for those terms beginning after the student pays off the loan. • A student who loses a LIFE or Palmetto Fellows Scholarship may qualify for those terms beginning after the loss of the scholarship. • A student who qualifies for in-state tuition after enrollment may qualify for those terms to which the in-state tuition applies. • A student ineligible in the spring semester who becomes eligible for the fall semester must complete the annual requirement for credit hours. What is the credit limit for 2023 if the student attends a 2-year and 4-year college or university within the 2023 tax year? A student who qualifies to include credit hours from a 2-year and 4-year college or university within the same taxable year is eligible for a maximum credit amount of $1,500. When a student qualifies by completing the semester requirement of credit hours, does tuition for non-semester credit hours qualify for the credit? You may claim tuition paid for non-semester credit hours only if the student is seeking a degree from the school offering the course and if the student graduated from high school before the course began. A student seeking a degree at one college or university may transfer to another college or university in order to seek a degree and qualify at both schools. How long may I claim the credit? The student must enroll in an eligible institution within 12 months of graduating from high school. The credit is available for four consecutive years from the date of enrollment, whether the student takes a break or not. To which year does the payment apply? The tuition must be claimed in the year it is paid. The tuition qualifies for the credit if the student qualifies for the credit in the year of payment. Can a nonresident claim the credit? A nonresident taxpayer may claim the credit as long as the qualifying student is a resident. The student must be eligible for in-state tuition and fees. In-state eligibility requires a student to establish domicile in South Carolina. How many credit hours must a student complete to be eligible for the credit? The student must complete at least 30 credit hours (15 if only attending one semester) at the end of the taxable year for which the credit is claimed, or its equivalent as determined by the SCCHE. Meeting the institution's requirements to be considered a full-time student is not a factor in determining eligibility for the Tuition Tax Credit. See these instructions for equivalent credit hour requirements. What is the definition of completed hours? A student is considered to have completed a course regardless of the grade achieved. A student who receives an incomplete grade or withdraws from a course is not considered to have completed a course for purposes of the 30 credit hour requirement. May a student who transfers from out-of-state to an in-state college or university become eligible? The student can only become eligible by enrolling in the in-state college or university within 12 months of graduating high school and by qualifying for in-state tuition. 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.

Form I-319 is a South Carolina Individual Income Tax form. States often have dozens of even hundreds of various tax credits, which, unlike deductions, provide a dollar-for-dollar reduction of tax liability. Some common tax credits apply to many taxpayers, while others only apply to extremely specific situations. In most cases, you will have to provide evidence to show that you are eligible for the tax credit, and calculate the amount of the credit to which you are entitled.

About the Individual Income Tax

The IRS and most states collect a personal income tax, which is paid throughout the year via tax withholding or estimated income tax payments.

Most taxpayers are required to file a yearly income tax return in April to both the Internal Revenue Service and their state's revenue department, which will result in either a tax refund of excess withheld income or a tax payment if the withholding does not cover the taxpayer's entire liability. Every taxpayer's situation is different - please consult a CPA or licensed tax preparer to ensure that you are filing the correct tax forms!
