To import your existing South Carolina sales tax registration into Kintsugi, you'll need to provide a few details issued by the South Carolina Department of Revenue when you registered your business. South Carolina manages its tax accounts through MyDORWAY, the state's free online tax portal for filing, paying, and managing business taxes. Once imported, Kintsugi can manage your South Carolina sales tax filings.


Required Credentials

When importing an existing South Carolina sales tax registration into Kintsugi, you'll need the following:

    • Letter ID

    • Line 1 From Last Return


What's My Registered Business Name?

Your Registered Business Name is the official legal business name you provided to the South Carolina Department of Revenue when you registered for your sales tax account.

Where to find it

You can find your Registered Business Name in any of the following places:

  • Your South Carolina Retail License. The SCDOR issues a Retail License upon approval of your sales tax registration. Your registered business name appears on this license.

  • Your MyDORWAY account. Log in at mydorway.dor.sc.gov and review your business profile or account information to confirm the name on file.

  • South Carolina Department of Revenue correspondence. Any notices, letters, or account-related communications from the SCDOR will reference your registered business name.


What's My FEIN?

Your FEIN (Federal Employer Identification Number) is the 9-digit number assigned to your business by the IRS, used to identify your business for federal tax purposes. It follows the format: XX-XXXXXXX.

Where to find it

You can find your FEIN in any of the following places:

  • Your IRS EIN confirmation letter (CP 575). The IRS mails this letter when your EIN is issued. Your FEIN is printed at the top of the document.

  • Your MyDORWAY account. Log in at mydorway.dor.sc.gov and review your business profile to confirm the FEIN on file.

  • Prior federal tax filings. Your FEIN appears on any federal business tax returns you've previously filed.


What's My FILE Number?

Your FILE Number is used to identify your South Carolina business tax account with the SCDOR. For a sales tax account, your FILE Number is your Retail License Number, issued to you by the SCDOR when your sales tax registration was approved.

Where to find it

You can find your FILE Number in any of the following places:

  • Your South Carolina Retail License. Your Retail License Number is printed on the license issued to you by the SCDOR after your sales tax registration was approved.

  • Sales tax return. Your FILE Number can also be found on your South Carolina sales tax return filed with the SCDOR.

  • Your MyDORWAY account. Log in at mydorway.dor.sc.gov, select the More tab, and click View Letters under the Correspondence section to locate your license and the FILE Number printed on it.

  • South Carolina Department of Revenue correspondence. Any notices or letters from the SCDOR related to your sales tax account will reference your FILE Number.


What's My Last Payment Amount?

Your Last Payment Amount is the dollar amount of the most recent payment you submitted to the South Carolina Department of Revenue for your sales tax account.

Where to find it

You can find your Last Payment Amount in any of the following places:

  • Your MyDORWAY account. Log in at mydorway.dor.sc.gov, navigate to your sales tax account, and review your payment history to find the amount of your most recent payment.

  • Your bank or payment records. Any ACH debit, check, or credit card payment made to the SCDOR for your sales tax account will reflect the payment amount.


What's My Last Refund Amount?

Your Last Refund Amount is the dollar amount of the most recent refund issued to you by the South Carolina Department of Revenue for your sales tax account.

Where to find it

You can find your Last Refund Amount in any of the following places:

  • Your MyDORWAY account. Log in at mydorway.dor.sc.gov, navigate to your sales tax account, and review your refund history.

  • South Carolina Department of Revenue correspondence. The SCDOR will send a notice confirming any refund issued, including the refund amount.


What's My Letter ID?

A Letter ID is a unique identifier printed on notices and letters sent by the South Carolina Department of Revenue. It begins with the letter L and is printed on all correspondence from the SCDOR.

Where to find it

You can find your Letter ID in any of the following places:

  • South Carolina Department of Revenue notices or letters. Any correspondence mailed to you by the SCDOR will include a Letter ID printed on the document.

  • Your MyDORWAY account. Log in at mydorway.dor.sc.gov, select the More tab, and click View Letters under the Correspondence section to access letters that include your Letter ID.


What's Line 1 From My Last Return?

Line 1 From Your Last Return is the value entered on Line 1 of the most recent South Carolina sales tax return you filed. This typically represents your gross sales or total sales for the filing period.

Where to find it

You can find Line 1 from your last return in any of the following places:

  • Your MyDORWAY account. Log in at mydorway.dor.sc.gov, navigate to your sales tax account, and view your filed return history to locate your most recent return and the value on Line 1.

  • Your own records. If you retain copies of filed returns, Line 1 will be printed on the return form.


Next Step

Once you provide the required credentials, Kintsugi will initiate the third-party access request. You do not need to validate or approve the request separately, as Kintsugi will complete this step on your behalf.

Once access is confirmed, Kintsugi can continue with the registration import setup in the app.
