Yes, you need to amend and SC 1040 instructions, top of page 18 says the deduction is for retirement income from the Reserves or National Guard.
- If you are under age 65, the deduction is limited to $14,600 for 2019.
- If you are age 65 and above, the deduction is limited to $27,000 for 2019.
This is considered self-prepared tax returns. We are happy to help and try to make things as clear as we can. You should have seen a page that says Here's the income that South Carolina handles differently. We have Learn More buttons as a guide.
At this point, you will want to amend the last 3 years for a refund.
Please see how to:
file an amended return
You will submit 2016, 201 and 2018 in separate envelopes and will want to have them tracked to be sure they arrive safely.
