South Carolina Reporting Specifics

South Carolina generally enforces a 5-year dormancy period for most property types, including savings accounts, checking accounts, certificates of deposit, and matured life insurance policies. This 5-year standard is widely applicable across many asset classes in the state.

However, holders must be attentive to specific exceptions. Securities, dividends, and debt obligations follow a shorter 3-year dormancy period. Even more accelerated is the reporting timeline for wages, utility deposits, and property resulting from business dissolution, which become reportable after just 1 year.

South Carolina specifically exempts gift certificates from reporting. For reportable properties, the state allows an aggregate limit of $50, permitting holders to group items valued under this amount without detailed owner information.
