You will be prompted to enter your Social Security number or ITIN and your exact refund amount, then click “Search.”

If your refund status hasn’t changed in more than 6 weeks or your refund status tells you to contact the SCDOR, then you should call 1-844-898-8542, Option 2.

If you e-filed your South Carolina state return and received a confirmation from your tax preparation software, the SCDOR has received your return. You can expect your refund to move through the review process within six to eight weeks from the date you filed.

Status changes are posted nightly on the SCDOR website. Please note, if you filed your state tax return by paper, it may take more time for your refund status to update.
