​File your taxes with FREE ​software

​These providers offer free tax ​preparation software for filing both federal and South Carolina returns to South Carolina taxpayers who meet the qualifications listed. You must start your return by clicking a link to a provider's website from this page. Use of other sites that promote a free federal return will not guarantee your ability to also file your South Carolina return for free. ​

  Need help choosing a Free File option? Use the IRS's​ Free File tool. Your provider must be listed on this page for you to file both your federal and state returns for free.

  Common abbreviations: Many of the options below are based on your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) or qualification for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).
