Mandatory minimum requirement for employers to upload W-2s online has changed

Employers who file at least 10 W-2 or 1099 forms with South Carolina withholding are now required to submit those documents to the South Carolina Department of Revenue (SCDOR) using ​MyDORWAY, the SCDOR’s free online tax portal.

The new mandate lowers the threshold from 250 W-2 forms to 10 as the result of new requirements issued by the IRS in February 2023.

Also, in addition to the standard W-2, employers can now submit the W-2c, W-2G,1099-R, 1099-MISC, and 1099-NEC online using MyDORWAY.

Employers can visit dor.s​​c.gov/w-2-upload for step-by-step instructions, a tutorial, and more information.

When you’re ready to submit your W-2 and 1099 forms to the SCDOR, here are some tips:

• Log in to MyDORWAY​, click the More tab, and select Upload W-2s or Upload 1099s.
• Choose the type of W-2 or 1099 you’re submitting.
• Then choose whether to upload an electronic file (recommended for businesses with a large number of employees) or an Excel file (recommended for businesses with a few employees)
  • MyDORWAY will accept any electronic files using IRS Publication 1220 or Social Security Administration EFW2/EFW2c specifications.
• Those uploading will need to provide contact information for the submitter (if different than the employer) and the employer, including their FEIN.
• After uploading your file, make sure you verify the information on the summary page is correct before clicking Submit.
