INSTRUCTIONS
Who Must File: Every domestic or foreign partnership (including any multiple member LLC not taxed as a corporation)
doing business or owning property in South Carolina must file an SC1065. Partnership income or loss is determined in the
same manner and on the same basis as for an individual. Taxpayers doing business in a partnership are liable for Income
Tax in their individual capacities. Each partner's return must include their distributive share, whether distributed or not, of
the net income or loss of the partnership for the taxable year. If a partner and partnership have different taxable years, the
partner's return must include income or loss reported by the partnership during the partner's taxable year.
Registration Information: A newly-formed partnership can register at dor.sc.gov/register. To get started, select New
Business Tax Application. To register by paper, download the SCDOR-111, Business Tax Application, at dor.sc.gov/
forms.
Filing Requirements: File the SC1065 and include all taxes due to the SCDOR by the 15th day of the third month
following the end of the partnership's taxable year. Attach each SC1065 K-1, Partner's Share of South Carolina Income,
Deductions, Credits, Etc. Amend your SC1065 whenever the IRS adjusts your federal 1065.
Payments: You must pay the balance of tax shown to be due on line 21 of the SC1065 in full by the original due date of
the return. Failure to pay the tax on time will result in additional penalty and interest. The quickest, easiest way to pay is
using our free online tax portal, MyDORWAY, at dor.sc.gov/pay. Select Business Income Tax Payment to get started.
If you are paying by check, include the name of the partnership, the FEIN, the tax year, and SC1065 in the memo and
attach to the paper return. Do not send cash.
If you owe $15,000 or more on any SCDOR return, you must file and pay electronically according to SC Code Section
12-54-250, available at dor.sc.gov/policy.
Electronic Filing: You can file your SC1065 along with your federal Partnership Return electronically in a single
transmission using third party tax preparation software. Visit dor.sc.gov/services/electronic for more information on
developers that support this service.
Forms: Current and past year SC1065 Partnership Tax forms are available at dor.sc.gov/forms.
Beginning with the 2021 Tax Year: A qualifying partnership, including an LLC taxed as a partnership, can elect to have
its active trade or business income taxed at the entity level instead of the partner level. A qualifying partnership is one
whose owners are all:
• individuals
• estates
• trusts
• entities not included in SC Code Sections 12-6-530 through 12-6-540
• entities not included in SC Code Section 12-6-550
• other entities not exempt from South Carolina Income Tax, or
• partnerships owned, directly or through other partnerships, by qualified owners listed above
This election is made annually at the partnership level on the SC1065 on behalf of all partners. Mark the box on page 1 of
the SC1065 to make your Active Trade or Business election.
Electing qualified partnerships must use the I-435, Active Trade or Business Income For Electing Partnerships and S
Corporations, to identify active trade or business income and calculate the tax due. Partnerships will use the SC1065K-1,
Partner's Share of South Carolina Income, Deductions, Credits, Etc., to report to each partner their share of the active
trade or business income taxed at the partnership level.
For more information, SC Code Sections are available at dor.sc.gov/policy.
Nonresident Withholding: Partnerships are required to withhold 5% of the South Carolina taxable income of partners
who are nonresidents of South Carolina. By the 15th day of the third month following the end of the partnership's taxable
year, you must provide each nonresident partner with a federal 1099-MISC with SC Only written at the top, showing the
amount of income and tax withheld.

1

Withholding is not required for nonresident partners who:
• provide the partnership with an I-309 affidavit
• are included on a composite Individual Income Tax return
• are tax exempt under IRC 501(a)
Active trade or business income taxed at the partnership level is not subject to nonresident withholding.
Attach a schedule to the SC1065 showing the name, address, tax identification number, South Carolina taxable income,
and tax withheld for each nonresident partner. Include any I-309 affidavits, I-338 Composite Return Affidavits, or
statements from tax exempt partners if they have not previously been filed with the SCDOR.
Tiered or layered partnerships must withhold only once for the partnership's activities within South Carolina. Any related
partnership must attach a statement explaining any passthrough withholding and provide a 1099-MISC labeled SC Only
to each partner.
For more information about nonresident withholding, see SC Revenue Procedure #17-2, available at dor.sc.gov/policy.
Composite Filing: A composite return is a single nonresident Individual Income Tax return filed by a partnership on
behalf of two or more nonresident partners who are individuals, trusts, or estates. For instructions, see the I-348,
Composite Filing Instructions, available at dor.sc.gov/forms.
Extensions:
• Need more time to file your SC1065? Request a filing extension by paying your balance due on our free online
tax portal, MyDORWAY, at dor.sc.gov/pay. Select Business Income Tax Payment to get started. Your
payment automatically submits your filing extension request. No additional form or paperwork is required.
• If requesting your extension by mail, use the SC8736, Request for Extension of Time to File South Carolina
Return for Fiduciary and Partnership, available at dor.sc.gov/forms.
• If no tax is due and you requested a federal extension, the federal extension will be accepted as a South Carolina
extension if we receive your Partnership Tax return within the time as extended by the IRS.
• There is no extension of time to pay. You must pay any Withholding and Income Tax due by the original due date
to avoid late penalties and interest.
• Mark the Extension box on the front of this return if you filed a federal or state extension.
Composite Extensions: To request a filing extension for a composite return, file the SC4868, Request for Extension of
Time to File South Carolina Individual Income Tax Return, available at dor.sc.gov/forms, using the name and FEIN of
the partnership. Estimate the tax due and pay the estimated tax by the 15th day of the fourth month following the end of
the partner's taxable year. Do not use the SC8736 to extend the time allowed to file a composite return. Mark the
Composite Filer box on the SC4868. Nonresident partners may participate in composite returns even if they have other
sources of income taxable to South Carolina. Disregard the other sources of income taxable to South Carolina when
preparing the composite return. For more information, see SC Revenue Procedure #17-2, available at dor.sc.gov/policy.
Information to Provide to Partners: Provide the SC1065 K-1 to each partner. Partnerships receiving passive activity
income and losses from investments located within and outside of South Carolina must furnish partners with detailed
accountings of these amounts.
Similar information must be provided to partners who did not materially participate in the trade or business of a
partnership engaged in multi-state operations. These partners may have nondeductible passive losses that cannot be
used to offset interest and other business-related portfolio income apportioned to South Carolina.
Providing K-1 Information: If you file the SC1065 electronically, submit the K-1 information to the SCDOR in the same
manner. Do not send paper copies of returns or K-1s if you file electronically. If you file by paper and have more than 50
partners, submit the K-1 information on a CD in any file format compatible with Microsoft Word or Excel. Label the CD with
the partnership name, FEIN, and tax year.
Tax Credits: Enter nonrefundable tax credits on the SC1040TC, Tax Credits, and attach to this return along with specific
tax credit schedules. Partnerships electing to pay active trade or business Income Tax can take nonrefundable tax credits
earned by the partnership, and not yet passed through to partners, against their partnership level tax. Nonrefundable
credits cannot be taken against the nonresident withholding tax due.

2

Credits not used by the partnership are passed through to the partners. Indicate the amount of credit allocated to each
partner on that partner's SC1065 K-1. The partners will be responsible for claiming the tax credits and including the
appropriate tax credit schedules on their Income Tax returns.
Allocation and Apportionment of Income: A taxpayer whose entire business is conducted in South Carolina is subject
to Income Tax based on the entire taxable income of the business for the taxable year. A taxpayer that conducts its
business partly within and partly outside of South Carolina is subject to Income Tax based on the portion of its business
in South Carolina. This portion is determined through allocation and apportionment of income. SC Code Sections
12-6-2220 and 12-6-2230 provide that certain classes of income, less related expenses, are allocated. The income
remaining after allocation is apportioned according to SC Code Section 12-6-2240. South Carolina generally requires the
use of one of the following apportionment methods:
1. A sales only apportionment method for taxpayers whose principle business in South Carolina is dealing in
tangible personal property: This method is used by businesses that manufacture, sell, or rent tangible personal
property. The sales factor is all sales of goods, merchandise, and property in South Carolina, divided by total
sales everywhere. The sale takes place where goods are received by the purchaser or his designee after all
transportation is completed. Sales in South Carolina include nonallocated rental income from tangible personal
property located in the state, sales of intangible personal property, and receipts from services of incomeproducing activities performed entirely in South Carolina. If the income-producing activity is performed partly
within and partly outside of South Carolina, sales are attributable to South Carolina to the extent the incomeproducing activity is performed within South Carolina.
2. A gross receipts apportionment method for taxpayers not dealing in tangible personal property: This method is
used by financial businesses and service businesses, including businesses that install or repair tangible personal
property, and contractors. This apportionment factor is South Carolina gross receipts divided by gross receipts
everywhere. For more information, see SC Code Sections 12-6-2290 and 12-6-2295, available at dor.sc.gov/
policy.
3. A special apportionment method provided in SC Code Section 12-6-2310 for certain companies, such as
railroad companies, telephone companies, pipeline companies, airline companies, and shipping lines: Use the
appropriate apportionment method instead of sales only or gross receipts.
4. An individualized apportionment method tailored to a particular business: A taxpayer may apply for an
individualized method according to SC Code Section 12-6-2320 if the normally-required method would not fairly
represent the extent of the taxpayer's business in South Carolina, or as an economic incentive.
For more information, see our South Carolina Tax Incentives for Economic Development guide, available at dor.sc.gov/
policy/index/policy-manuals.

Enter the total number of:
• Partners in the partnership
• Partners who are not residents of South Carolina
• Nonresident partners who are exempt from withholding because they have filed an I-309 affidavit with the
partnership or are tax exempt under IRC 501(a)
• Nonresident partners who are participating in a composite return
SCHEDULE SC-K
Use the Schedule SC-K to make South Carolina adjustments to federal Schedule K items and show the amounts
allocated to South Carolina and the amounts subject to apportionment.
Column A Computation of Income: Enter the amounts from Column A of federal Schedule K, line 1 through line 13d in
the same line numbers of Column A of SC-K. Add line 1 through line 13d and enter the total on line 14.
Column B South Carolina Adjustment: Include additions and subtractions resulting from differences between federal
and South Carolina law in Column B. Show any income taxed by South Carolina but not subject to federal Income Tax,
such as interest income received from states other than South Carolina, or their political subdivisions, as an addition.
Some other examples of additions are:
• Expenses deducted on the federal return related to income exempt or not taxable to South Carolina.
• Federal bonus depreciation: For the year an asset is placed in service, add back the difference between the
depreciation taken and the depreciation that would have been allowed without bonus depreciation. A subtraction
resulting from a higher South Carolina basis applies to all remaining years of depreciation.
• A nonresident seller of South Carolina real property who elects out of installment sales treatment must report the
entire gain for the taxable year in which the sale took place.
Show any income not taxed by South Carolina but subject to federal Income Tax, such as interest paid by the US
government on US savings bonds and treasury bills, as a subtraction.
Add line 1 through line 13d and enter the total on line 14.
Column C Federal Schedule K Amounts after SC Adjustments: This amount is the sum of Columns A and B.
Column D Amounts Allocated To SC: List amounts allocated to South Carolina in Column D. The following items must
be allocated. All remaining items are subject to apportionment.
• Personal service income: Allocate personal service income, including guaranteed payments, to South Carolina
if (a) the income is received by a resident individual or (b) the income is for services performed in South Carolina.
• Gains and losses from sale of property: Allocate gains and losses from the sale of real property to the state in
which the real property is located. Subtract all related expenses. Allocate to South Carolina any gain which
represents the return of amounts deducted in South Carolina as depreciation. If a taxpayer’s business is
conducted partly within and partly outside of South Carolina, allocate gains and losses from sales of tangible
personal property unrelated to the business activity of the taxpayer to the state in which the business situs of the
investment is located. Allocate gains and losses from sales of intangible personal property not connected with
the business of the taxpayer and not held for sale to customers in the regular course of business to a corporate
partner’s principal place of business and a noncorporate partner’s domicile.
• Rents and royalties: Allocate rents and royalties from the lease of rental real estate or tangible personal property
not used or connected with the taxpayer's trade or business during the year to the state where the property was
located at the time the income was derived. Subtract all related expenses.
• Interest and dividends: Allocate interest and dividends not connected with the taxpayer's business to a
corporate partner's principal place of business and a noncorporate partner's domicile. Subtract all related
expenses.
• Other income subject to allocation: Any income, less all related expenses, that is not otherwise allocated and
that is unrelated to a taxpayer’s business activity conducted partly within and partly outside of South Carolina is
allocated to the state in which the business situs of the investment is located. If the business situs of the
investment is partly within and partly outside of South Carolina, apportion the investment using the same formula
used to apportion net income.
Allocation and apportionment statutes are located in SC Code Sections 12-6-2210 through 12-6-2320, available at dor.sc.
gov/policy.

Line 20: If you calculated failure to file or failure to pay penalties and interest, enter in the appropriate blanks and put the
total of both on line 20.
A failure to file penalty is charged for failing to file a tax return by its due date, considering any extension of time for filing.
The penalty is 5% of the tax amount if the failure is for not more than one month, with an additional 5% for each additional
month or fraction of the month the failure continues, not to exceed 25% in total.
A failure to pay penalty is charged for failing to pay the tax on any return by its due date. The penalty is 0.5% of the tax if
the failure is for not more than one month, with an additional 0.5% for each additional month or fraction of the month the
failure continues, not to exceed 25% in total.
Any unpaid portion of the final tax due will accrue interest at the prevailing federal rates. This amount is computed from
the original due date of the tax return to the date of payment.
