How the checkup works

Every screenshot below uses the same example: a corporation 8 years behind, about $60,000 a year in profit, not sure of its corporation type, with equipment in Myrtle Beach. The working estimate for that example is $37,908, with a range of $1,329 to $41,607 or more depending on what turns out to be true.

Start with your situation

Pick what you are trying to figure out and how much you already know. Visitors who know almost nothing get fewer questions and more of the estimate done for them.

The company, in plain English

Years behind, the most recent year missed, status with the Secretary of State, and whether it is a C or S corporation. Every question has a "Not sure" answer, with a short "How do I tell?" explainer.

Money and filings

What was filed and paid, roughly what the business made after expenses, and whether you have a recent return or balance sheet. Unknown numbers never block the estimate.

The owner side of an S corporation

For S corporations, TaxTrack treats the owner as a separate taxpayer: ownership share, personal returns, residency and salary, with each year’s published South Carolina rate.

Business equipment and local rates

Equipment in plain language, the county and city, and the published 2025 millage for that location, so property tax is estimated even when you have never seen a millage rate.

A working estimate from the first answer

Every line is marked known, estimated or unknown, with a lower, working and upper figure and a confidence rating for each section. It updates as you type.

How we got this number

Open any line to see the inputs behind it and whether each is something you entered, an estimate, a published rule or data that is not loaded yet.

Accounts that may need attention

This is often not one tax bill. TaxTrack marks the corporate, individual, property, withholding and sales tax accounts as likely involved, possibly involved or showing no indication.

What happened each year

A year-by-year timeline built from your answers. Tick a year that was actually filed and the estimate updates.

Your path back to good standing

The steps in order, each marked likely required, maybe required, not applicable or already done.

What may reduce or manage the amount

Penalty waivers, payment agreements, equipment valuation, voluntary disclosure and more, shown only when your answers call for them, and never as a promise.

Questions for your situation

Answers to the questions people in your situation ask, each tied to its South Carolina source.

Tax health at a glance

How many areas need attention, need confirmation or appear current, from company status to payroll and property. No score, just plain statuses, and it says what the checkup does not cover.

Every unknown becomes a task

Each unknown comes with how to find out, where to look and what document proves it. Mark tasks open, in progress or resolved; your case is saved for when you come back.

Common questions

Is TaxTrack free?

Yes. The South Carolina Business Reinstatement & Tax Exposure Checkup is free. You sign in with your email and a 6-digit code; no password and no card.

Does TaxTrack prepare or file tax returns?

No. TaxTrack estimates and organizes. It shows what may be owed, what is uncertain and the steps to take, so you can plan or work with a CPA, enrolled agent or tax attorney.

What does the checkup cover?

South Carolina corporate income tax, the corporate license fee, late filing and payment penalties, business personal property tax with 2025 local millage, the Certificate of Tax Compliance, and for S corporations the owner’s South Carolina individual income tax and nonresident withholding.

Where do the numbers come from?

South Carolina Code of Laws, SCDOR published rates and rules, and the South Carolina Association of Counties 2025 millage report. Each source carries the date it was last verified and when it is due for review. Anything not yet loaded, such as historical interest rates, is marked unknown instead of guessed.

Can I come back to my case later?

Yes. Your answers, the years you marked as filed, and the status of each task and step are saved to your account, so you can pick up where you left off.
