The video skips right over the part I need help understanding: how do I know which boxes to fill in on the county and municipality breakdown page?
I need to know the same thing!
I was watching this video for the same reason...
Hello! When you reach the ST-389 page, you’re required to enter the net taxable sales made in that County or Municipality in each white box next to the County or Municipality. If you made deliveries into multiple Counties or Municipalities, add them, then enter your net taxable sales made into that County or Municipality into the white boxes.
The white boxes are the local taxes collected by the County or Municipality. If a box is grayed out, that County or Municipality does not collect that local tax.
I get which boxes to fill in, I just don't know the number to put in to fill it. If I leave it at 0 I can't move forward but leaving it at 0 yields the right sales tax I owe
I am lucky to only have one category, so I put the entire net taxable amount I made into the "Transportation" box. I was able to get it to calculate my tax rate and move on. I hope this is correct! I wouldn't know what to do if I made money in multiple counties with many categories. Do you divide your total net up with each category equally? That's what happens in the video. He nets $5000 and says he made $3000 in Lexington county, then in Berkeley county he divides the other $2000 equally into Berkeley's two categories.
How do I get more help with this. Is there a course or something because I would like a specific breakdown for my business and my situation. Because this really didn’t help me comprehend anything. I’m glad it exist but I truly don’t understand or feel comfortable filling it out because I don’t have a simplified understanding of everything I need to do. It would be nice to have a little cheat sheet or have someone go over everything with me so I know what I’m doing based on my business

@@TheSCDOR I was able to get the information I needed by calling. As info, I emailed the above address 15 days ago and never received a reply.
For Aiken county, it is showing me I must fill in a number for capital project as well as put a number in school district/education capital improvement. If I put the same number in both then it will be double the amount. Do I divide by 2 and put the amount in both? This video skips over explanation of the mandatory boxes that need to be filled out.
Hello! Enter the taxable sales for both local taxes. It does look like it is “doubling” the amount, but you are paying the 1% tax on both the local taxes.
our company is in Maryland, with sales in South Carolina. Our customer has a tax exempt number. Do I enter the total sales at all as no taxes are due ?
Hello! The exempt sales are claimed as a deduction.
What if more money was spent for the business than made? Meaning deductions are higher than the income so the taxable amount is negative?
Hello! Business expenses are not a valid sales tax deduction. Please refer to the drop-down box on the return for a list of valid sales tax deductions.
For the County Detail screen I only have 1municipality with 3 white boxes. If my net sales is $5k, do I enter $5k in each box? The calculations for my tax due is correct but the Net Taxable Amount from form ST-389 seems inflated ($15k vs $5k)? Is it supposed to look that way?
*SAME QUESTION! I hope there is a reply to your question. please make it clear if the same amount goes in each box.
@@desiwashington246 hey Desi, they replied to me via email and stated yes. Net sales should be entered in each box (in my example $5k totaling $15k) vs. trying to have those white boxes total your net sales (in my example $5k).
@@keyonna1889 thank you so much for your reply. It's such a simple form to fill out that really stumped at that point. Thank you!
ive only had sales in one county, $124, am i entering ($124) into these white boxes or the amount, that it should be taxed at? the state charges 6% my county charges an extra 1%. so am I entering that or the amount I've made?
Hello! You will need to report the taxable sales for each local tax applied for the county where you make sales. In this case, $124.
The "file return" link is no longer on MyDorway sales tax. Since I have already filled it out before, I assume all I have to do is make a payment.?
Hello! If you don't see the File Return link next to your account, it's possible you don't have access to file the return, don't have a return due, or your return has already been filed.
If we have no sales in SC, but have sales in other states do we enter the total company sales, or $0?
Hello! Enter the amount of total gross sales on line 1 and take a deduction for “Out of state” sales on line 2. If all sales were out of state, that will leave you with a net taxable sales amount of zero.
But Line 2 says "Out of State PURCHASES Subject to Use Tax". Where is that Line 2 that says "Out of State SALES"? Did you find it?
Can you explain what I need to do regarding Beaufort county green space tax while trying to file sales and use tax?
Hello! You will need to enter the amount of taxable sales made in Beaufort County in the County Green Space Column on the local tax chart and MyDORWAY will compute the amount of tax due.

I have a refund in a municipality with no other sale, creating a tax refund for that location. I cannot enter a negative number. How do I report that? When entered in the deductions as return merchandise, it does not lower my tax debt.
Hello! You cannot claim negative amounts on the return. If you need to obtain a credit for returned merchandise, you will need to amend the return when the sale was originally reported.

ST-388 Worksheet #4
The Gross Proceeds and Net Taxables Sales Subject to 5% Rate must match the totals of the corresponding columns in the table below.
Gross Proceeds Subject to 5% Rate
9,499.50
Net Taxables Sales Subject to 5% Rate
9,499.50 and it has been a problem since earlier this year to find out what to do
Hello! When filing the ST-388, you will need to fill in the rental amounts on item 1, the gross proceeds of sales. After that, click anywhere outside of that box and MyDORWAY will automatically populate the item 10 and item 14 boxes. If you don’t have any deductions, press the next button.
On the worksheet #4, put the gross and net from the first page in the boxes on the far right under “gross proceeds” and “net taxable.” If you are in a county with local taxes, you will need to put this exact amount in those local tax boxes as well. That will allow you to finalize the return.
If you need further assistance, the best way to contact the SCDOR is by sending a MyDORWAY web message.
at the end, it is asking for my password as a confirmation number. But it won't take my password for the account, or the 6 digit security code I was texted to enter the account.
Hello! Your password is required to submit a Sales and Use Tax return, but you do not need a separate confirmation code. Have you tried double checking that you have entered the correct password?
All my boxes are grayed and I can't enter the total sales for Municipality, so it shows that I'm trying to deduct my full sales. Help?
It sounds like you’re trying to complete the ST-389. You will first need to select the county that you are attempting to report taxes for. The box next to the county is where the municipality should be selected.
Enter your net taxable sales in the boxes that are not greyed out. Repeat for additional counties. Once all selections have been made. Click Next to proceed.
Keep in mind, if the boxes are greyed out next to a municipality, it means that municipality does not collect that local tax. Enter your net taxable sales in the boxes that are not greyed out, then hit Next to proceed.
for item 4 it keeps saying cannot exceed total net taxable amount. What does that mean??
Mine says the same. Did you ever find out a solution to this?
Hello! Try checking your figures to be sure you are entering amounts on lines 1-3 first, then enter your deductions. Be sure to double check that you aren’t rounding up on some calculations and rounding down on others, as that can cause errors as well.
@@TheSCDOR I am having this issue too. I am on the ST-389 worksheet. The only way I can get the error to go away is if I remove the deductions. I thought I was supposed to enter the same deductions as on the first part of the return.

On the ST-389 Worksheet, I keep getting in red the message with an amount in brackets “cannot exceed total net taxable amount “ and it doesn’t. How do I fix this?
Hello! Without seeing your specific return, it’s difficult to know exactly what you need to do to correct the issue. However, we recommend checking that the amount of local taxable sales you are reporting on the ST-389 does not exceed the total amount of taxable sales you’re reporting on the ST-3. Thank you!
I can not access the file return
