Form SC8453 is your declaration for electronic filing. The numbers on the form come from your SC-1040.

If you want to make any changes, do so on the SC-1040 and any related forms and schedules.

If you’ve already reported all your dividends, change the amount that is from South Carolina.

Type dividends in Search (magnifying glass) in the top right
Click Jump to dividends
On “Your investments and savings” Edit your dividends
On New, let’s review your 1099-DIV check your Box 12 amount, then Continue
On "Do these uncommon situations apply?" select None of these apply, then Continue
On "Do these uncommon situations apply?" select None of these apply, then Continue
On “Tell us more about your exempt-interest dividends," tap I earned exempt-interest dividends in more than one state
Select South Carolina and Multiple States and enter the amount of your non-South Carolina dividends in Multiple States

Thanks for the response,but I had already entered it correctly, same as you described. It would not carry it into the SC return. I tried a lot of different ways after that before asking here. The only way it finally worked today was: on the dividend entry, I filled in the state section at the bottom where you can enter the state and state ID#. I only entered “SC” and no ID or amount since my 1099-DIV didn’t have anything in the state section. Then the SC1040 magically showed the correct amount (the “Multiple States” amt.). Thanks again for your effort.
