South Carolina and the Federal One Big Beautiful Bill

BAH41 — Sat, 21 Feb 2026 22:47:52 GMT

I've tried to find the answer in the Community postings, but still confused.

My hubby and I are over 65 and we received the $12,000 additional deduction in the OBBB. (That is the only item in the OBBB that concerns us.)

In the Turbo Tax 2025 South Carolina tax return, is the software automatically deducting the $12,000, or do I need to somehow do it manually?

Thanks!

Yes, the software for the South Carolina return is automatically adding back the additional deduction you are getting on the Federal return due to the OBBB. This is due to South Carolina not conforming to the changes made by the OBBB.

As you go through the South Carolina return using TurboTax, you will see an amount entered for Other Additions on the page titled Here's the income that South Carolina handles differently.

You can click Edit beside the Other Additions section at the top of that screen to see that the adjustments are being made for the OBBB additional deduction from the Federal return. There is nothing that you need to do manually.

Next week the SC legislature may be voting to comply with the OBBB and so we may all have to do amendments.
