South Carolina Payroll Taxes

South Carolina requires the following state payroll Tax and withholding forms:

Form NHR – South Carolina New Hire Reporting

Employers must report newly hired or rehired employees in South Carolina using the New Hire Reporting Form (NHR). This form must be submitted to the South Carolina Department of Revenue (SCDOR) within 20 days of hiring or rehiring an employee. State Payroll Tax Reporting is a vital part of compliance, and this form ensures you meet state regulations.

Form WH-1605 – South Carolina Quarterly Withholding Reconciliation

Form WH-1605 is used by employers to reconcile the total income tax withheld from employees’ wages on a quarterly basis. This form consolidates all withholding taxes for the quarter and is due on a quarterly schedule, ensuring accurate payroll tax reporting.

Form WH-1606 – South Carolina Annual Withholding Reconciliation

Form WH-1606 is used by employers to reconcile the total amount of income tax withheld from employees' wages for the entire year. This annual reconciliation consolidates all withholding taxes for the year and must be submitted by January 31 of the following year to maintain payroll tax compliance.
