South Carolina doesn’t require businesses (C-corporations, S-corporations, partnerships, and fiduciaries) to file a separate Business Tax extension form if they have an approved federal extension by filing Form 7004

If you do not apply for a federal extension or if your request for a federal extension was denied and you owe tax on your business income tax return, you can file a separate South Carolina business tax extension form to get an extension of time to file the South Carolina business income tax return. 

Extension Form to use    

  • Form SC1120-T, Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File Corporation Tax Return
  • Form SC8736, Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File South Carolina Return for Fiduciary and Partnership

You can choose to pay your balance due along with your return by using any one of the following options:

  • Pay by Online service. 
  • You can make your payments with the Extension form SC1120-T and mail it to the appropriate department with your Business Name and FEIN on the form and in the memo of the check.
  • For partnership returns, you can pay your payments along with Form SC 1065.
  • If you have e-filed your returns but need to make payments by check or money order, you can use the following payment vouchers.
