South Carolina LLC at a Glance
Note: A South Carolina LLC taxed as a sole proprietorship or partnership — which is the default, and what most care businesses are — files no annual report with the Secretary of State and pays no annual fee. The exception matters: elect to be taxed as a C-corp or S-corp and you must file Form CL-1, the Initial Report of Corporations ($25), within 60 days of formation, and file corporate returns with the Department of Revenue thereafter.
