If no income tax is anticipated to be due and you have been granted a federal extension of time to file a federal income tax return, the department will accept a copy of the federal extension. In this case, you do not need to send SC a copy of the federal form by the due date of the tax return.
How To File:
File your extension and pay your balance due on-line at
www.sctax.org. Or file a paper form SC4868. Mail the original with payment if any. Keep two copies:one copy should be attached to the back of your return when it is filed,
and the other should be retained for your records.
