10 December 2019 South Carolina to develop its own Form W-4 that will include personal allowances The South Carolina Department of Revenue announced on its website that it is developing a new SC W-4 for use starting in 2020 that will closely resemble the 2019 Form W-4, including the ability to claim personal allowances. The Department expects the new SC W-4 to be available when it releases its 2020 state income tax withholding tables. Once available, Form SC W-4 will be available here. South Carolina is one of six states (Colorado, Delaware, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Carolina and Utah) that continues to use only the federal Form W-4 for state income tax withholding purposes. All six states, except Utah, consider personal allowances in the state income tax withholding calculation; however, starting in 2020, the federal Form W-4 will no longer include a field for entering personal allowances. For this reason, South Carolina has addressed the upcoming issue by decoupling from the federal Form W-4 starting next year.
