INSTRUCTIONS
Who may file: Use the SC4868 to request an extension of time to file the SC1040, Individual Income Tax Return, for:
• Individual Income taxpayers,
• Nonresident shareholders of an S Corporation, or
• Nonresident partners of a Partnership or LLC
Partnerships and Fiduciaries use the SC8736, Request for Extension of Time to File Return for Fiduciary and Partnership,
to file an extension for the SC1065 and SC1041 returns.
If you are an individual:
• Enter the name, address, and SSN for you and your spouse, if filing jointly.
If you are a composite filer:
• Enter the name and FEIN of the S Corporation, Partnership, or LLC.
• Do not enter any information in the Spouse fields.
• Enter the mailing address of the S Corporation, Partnership, or LLC.
• Check the box to indicate that you are a composite filer.
Balance due: Enter the amount from line 8 of the Tax Computation Worksheet. You must pay this amount in full with your
SC4868 to the SCDOR. An extension of time to file your tax return will not extend the time to pay your Income Tax.
How to file: Save time and paper! Instead of filing the SC4868, you can request your extension to file by paying your
balance due on our free online tax portal, MyDORWAY, at dor.sc.gov/pay. Select Individual Income Tax Payment to
get started. Your payment on MyDORWAY automatically submits your filing extension request. No additional form or
paperwork is required.
When to file: File this request by April 15th following the end of the tax year. If the due date for filing your return falls on a
Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, your return is due by the next regular working day. This extension allows you an
additional six months to file your return.
If you filed a federal extension: If no Income Tax is due and you have been granted an extension of time to file a federal
Income Tax return, we will accept a copy of the federal extension. You do not need to send us a copy of the federal form
by the due date of the tax return.
Filing your tax return: You can file your tax return any time before the extension expires. Mark the Extension box on the
front of the SC1040 to indicate you filed a federal or state extension.
Penalty and interest: This extension allows additional time to file your South Carolina Income Tax return, but not to pay
any tax due. You will be charged interest, at the prevailing federal rates, on any unpaid tax. Interest is applied from the
original due date of the tax return to the date of payment. In addition to the interest, you will be charged a penalty of 0.5%
per month for failure to pay at least 90% of the total tax due by the original due date. The penalty will be imposed on the
difference between the amount paid with the extension and the tax to be paid for the period. A Penalty and Interest
Calculator is available on MyDORWAY, our free online tax portal, at dor.sc.gov/calculator.
Identification numbers: The extension cannot be processed without a proper SSN for individuals or FEIN for
S Corporations or Partnerships.
If you are a nonresident or resident alien and cannot get an SSN, contact the IRS at irs.gov to apply for an Individual
Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) for the purpose of filing Income Tax returns. We will accept this number instead of
an SSN to process Individual Income Tax returns, including this extension.

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.
