Lead generation for financial advisors in South Carolina.
South Carolina has 1,076,945 residents aged 65 and over, 19.8% of its population, 21st by count and 12th by share of the 50 states. It leaves Social Security out of state income and gives residents an age 65 deduction that applies year by year.
Who you are actually talking to in South Carolina.
South Carolina's age 65 deduction is per person and claimed year by year, so how much taxable income lands in each retirement year decides how much of it gets used. That makes the yearly drawdown plan a South Carolina question, not only a federal one.

What South Carolina pre-retirees are actually asking about
Three rules that shape how South Carolina retirees draw income and hold their homes, none changed by the 2026 income tax overhaul (Act 110). Verified against the South Carolina Code of Laws on 2026-09-24.
Social Security is left out of South Carolina income
South Carolina computes gross income without Internal Revenue Code section 86, the section that brings Social Security and Tier 1 railroad retirement benefits into federal income. Benefits the IRS taxes are not taxed by the state, so the planning weight falls on IRA, 401(k) and pension withdrawals.
At 65: up to $15,000 a person, $30,000 for a couple
From the year a resident turns 65, South Carolina allows a deduction of up to $15,000, reduced by any retirement income deduction taken, which is up to $10,000 at 65. The two do not stack. A joint return where both spouses are 65 or older can deduct up to $30,000.
Homestead exemption on the first $50,000 at 65
A resident of at least one year who reached 65 by December 31 before the tax year, and holds title or a life estate, can exempt the first $50,000 of the home's fair market value from county, municipal, school and special assessment property taxes. The test is age and residency, not income. Apply to the county auditor.
The $15,000 age 65 deduction and the $10,000 retirement deduction are often added together; the statute reduces the first by the second, so the ceiling at 65 is $15,000 per person. S. 768, which would raise the homestead exemption to $100,000 and lower the age to 60, passed the Senate in February 2026 but has not been enacted; the figure in force is $50,000.
