South Carolina has a state income tax, so tax time here means two returns — your federal return and your South Carolina return. Compass Tax Center handles both, personally, year-round, and 100% virtually. From the Lowcountry to the Upstate to the Grand Strand, we're a secure upload and a phone call away.
A federal return and a South Carolina return, prepared together so they agree and you claim every credit you're owed. South Carolina's top rate has been coming down, and the state is unusually easy on retirees — we make sure you get every break.
Two returns instead of one means more to keep straight. We handle the whole picture, federal and state, and we're here after April, too.
South Carolina's income tax is graduated, and lawmakers have been steadily lowering the top rate. The state is also notably retirement-friendly: it doesn't tax Social Security, and it offers a general retirement-income deduction plus an extra deduction once you turn 65.
Those retirement breaks are easy to leave on the table. We make sure your South Carolina return claims every deduction and credit you qualify for, not just the federal ones.
South Carolina's income tax is the main event, but a few other taxes matter too. If any of these are you, they're firmly in our wheelhouse.
You don't need a tax office down the road — you need the right person handling both your returns. Everything we do is secure and fully virtual, so working with us is exactly as easy from Hilton Head as it is from Charleston. And since we serve all 50 states, if life moves you out of South Carolina, your tax help doesn't have to change.
