why isnt greenville county listed as a south carolina county for local taxes

Greenville County is one of three counties in South Carolina that do not levy a local income tax. Most South Carolina counties do impose local sales taxes, but local income tax is generally not collected by counties in this state.

How TurboTax handles local taxes in these counties:
1. TurboTax does not require you to enter local income taxes for Greenville County or the other two counties without local income tax.
2. You will still report state income taxes for South Carolina as usual.
3. If you have other local taxes, such as property tax, those are handled separately and are not part of TurboTax's local income tax section.

This means TurboTax simplifies filing for residents of Greenville County by not including local income tax forms or entries that aren't applicable.
