South Carolina Department of Revenue Tax Verification Audit

If you have been selected by the South Carolina Department of Revenue for tax verification, below are a few links to help you get started:

• Official transcripts can be requested through Records and Registration. Transcript Requests
• 1098-T Forms can be found at Heartland ECSI’s website. 1098-T Tax Forms
• Request a fee payment history. Fee Payment History

Important notes about the fee payment history:

If the student did not receive financial aid (scholarships, grants, or student loans) for the verification period, the 1098-T tax form will suffice. If the student received financial aid for the requested tax year, please submit your request here: Fee Payment History. Please note it may take up to 2 business days to process this request. The fee payment history for current students will be e-mailed to their Winthrop e-mail address. For former students, who no longer have an active Winthrop e-mail address, the fee payment history will be mailed to their permanent address on file. When sending the request, please use “Fee Payment History Request” as the subject line. In the body of the e-mail please provide:

• First and Last Name of the student  
• WUID (if known)
• Last four of Social Security Number
• Birthdate
• Semesters or Tax years requested
