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
