As per the posts above, please see the link below to confirm whether the notice is legitimate or not.  The website indicates they are requesting confirmation using MyDORWAY, but makes no mention of the link you have posted.

If you received a letter in the mail and have to type in the website, it is a valid request.  Also the extension "dor.sc.gov" is valid for the South Carolina Department of Revenue.

South Carolina is sending letters for identity verification.  It is legitimate.

Contact your state and ask them if they sent you a letter.

It is not uncommon for the state to require someone to verify their identity.
