There are three different systems states can use to impose this tax, either joint, combined, or a mix of the two systems. South Carolina opts for a joint filing system, which is like the one used by the federal government in taxing families as a single entity. In this system, married taxpayers have their incomes added together and taxed as one amount.

The tax base for South Carolina states with federal taxable income, though some sources of income are exempt from inclusion in the tax base. These differences may vary between the state and federal levels, and all residents should be aware when filing their tax return.
