Out of State Losses
South Carolina does not recognize out-of-state losses. Enter the out-of-state losses derived from rental properties or business losses.
National Guard and Military Reserve Expenses
Because inactive duty military reserve income is taxed for federal purposes but deductible on your South Carolina return, you must add back the amount of the federal deduction for expenses related to this income.
