In the month of May 2025, residents of South Carolina may be eligible for a combined federal and state financial assistance of up to $1,850 under certain circumstances.
All of the unclaimed federal stimulus money and state tax credits are included in this whole sum. Eligible persons have a limited amount of time to submit their claims for these money before the deadlines that are drawing near.
Qualifications to Receive the Payment of $1,850
The total amount of $1,850, which includes a federal stimulus payment of $1,400 from the third wave of Economic Impact Payments (EIP) and up to $450 from South Carolina state tax credits, contributes to the overall amount.
Individuals must have earned less than $75,000 (or $150,000 for joint filers) in 2021 and not have gotten the entire amount of the stimulus package in order to be eligible for the government payout.
Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit (CDCTC), and Two Wage Earner Credit are the three types of credits that are offered by the state administration.
How to Make a Claim for Your Income?
It is necessary for persons who are eligible to receive the federal stimulus to submit a federal tax return for the year 2021 and claim the Recovery Rebate Credit by the date of April 15, 2025.
It is important to file a South Carolina state tax return for the year 2024 in order to qualify for state tax benefits.
When it comes to gaining access to the available credits, it is vital to file these forms, even if you had a very low or nonexistent income.

Various Methods of Payment Distribution
Depending on the banking information that you supplied in your tax return, the federal government will either mail you a paper check or make payments to you through direct deposit.
Generally speaking, state tax credits are either added to your tax refund or used to offset any balance that is still to be paid.
It is essential to verify that the information you provide for your account and contact details is correct in order to prevent any delays.
By combining federal and state programs, residents of South Carolina might get as much as $1,850 in aid from the federal government.
Your ability to gain access to these funds is contingent upon your timely filing of your federal and state tax returns prior to the deadline of April 15, 2025. Take advantage of this chance to improve the financial situation of your household.
