19 April 2016 South Carolina DOR to end business tax Telefile program The South Carolina Department of Revenue announced that will be ending the Business Tax Telefile option at +1 803 898 5918 that allowed employers filing zero withholding tax returns to file by telephone. (Revenews, South Carolina Department of Revenue.) Effective August 1, 2016, businesses using Telefile must begin filing withholding tax returns either on paper using Form WH-1605, South Carolina Withholding Quarterly Tax Return), for the first, second and third quarters of the year and Form WH-1606, South Carolina Withholding Fourth Quarter and Annual Reconciliation Return, for the fourth quarter, or electronically over the Department's MyDORWAY system. For more information, see the Department's website, call +1 803 898 5000 or send an email to withholdtax@dor.sc.gov. As we reported in Tax Alert 2016-491, pending legislation would require South Carolina employers to submit Forms W-2 and Form WH-1606 to the South Carolina Department of Revenue by January 31, rather than the current due date of last day of February. (HB 4328, passed the House on February 24, 2016 and reported favorable by a Senate committee on March 23, 2016.) The earlier filing due date would be effective upon enactment (making the change effective for the filing of calendar year 2016 Forms W-2 in 2017).
