The State of South Carolina will automatically grant you a 6-month tax extension if you were approved for a federal tax extension. However, you will need to submit South Carolina Form SC4868 (PDF) if you need to make a state tax payment or if you were not approved for a federal extension.

If you do not need to make a tax payment and have received an acceptance notification from FileLater, there’s nothing more to do. Be sure to attach a copy of your extension form with your state tax return when filed.

Filing for a South Carolina tax extension will not provide you with additional time to pay any tax balance due, which must be paid by the original filing deadline, or interest and other payment penalties may apply.

For additional information, please visit the State of South Carolina Department of Revenue website.
