State tax filing

Q. How much income is required to file a south carolina return?

A. The same as federal. The SC rule is you must file a SC return, if you are required to file a federal return.  SC, like most other states, has a gross income filing requirement. That is, it goes by ALL your income, not just what you made in SC.
