KEEP FOR YOUR RECORDS
The Family Privacy Protection Act
Under the Family Privacy Protection Act, the collection of personal information from citizens by the SCDOR is limited to the information
necessary for the SCDOR to fulfill its statutory duties. In most instances, once this information is collected by the SCDOR, it is protected
by law from public disclosure. In those situations where public disclosure is not prohibited, the Family Privacy Protection Act prevents
such information from being used by third parties for commercial solicitation purposes.
Social Security Privacy Act Disclosure
It is mandatory that you provide your Social Security Number on this tax form if you are an individual taxpayer. 42 U.S.C. 405(c)(2)(C)(i)
permits a state to use an individual's Social Security Number as means of identification in administration of any tax. SC Regulation
117-201 mandates that any person required to make a return to the SCDOR must provide identifying numbers, as prescribed, for
securing proper identification. Your Social Security Number is used for identification purposes.
