Group helps South Carolinians do taxes for free

The statewide non-profit SC Thrive is helping folks from now until April 18, 2022.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina tax filers can avoid  preparation fees by filing their taxes for free online with statewide nonprofit, SC Thrive.

To qualify for this service, filers must have an Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) of $65,000 or less for individuals or $95,000 or less for married couples filing jointly.

This tax season, from now through April 18, 2022, individuals can use Thrive Hub, SC Thrive’s online platform that connects people to quality-of-life resources, to submit their state and federal returns securely. 

In addition, filers can claim available tax credits such as the Earned Income Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, or Recovery Rebate Credit at no extra cost. People who do not normally file can submit a return to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit, which allows individuals to claim unpaid stimulus funds. 

The time has come! Safely file your taxes using Thrive Hub at home or wherever you have internet access. Get your return started today at scthrive.org/filetaxes!
