coming year. No further notice will be sent prior to the mailing of a tax bill by the county and/or district.

Social Security Privacy Act Disclosure
It is mandatory that you provide your social security number on this tax form if you are an individual taking this credit. 42 U.S.C 405(c)
(2)(C)(i) permits a state to use an individual's social security number as means of identification in administration of any tax. SC

numbers, as prescribed, for securing proper identification. Your social security number is used for identification purposes.

the information necessary for the Department to fulfill its statutory duties. In most instances, once this information is collected by the
Department, it is protected by law from public disclosure. In those situations where public disclosure is not prohibited, the Family
Privacy Protection Act prevents such information from being used by third parties for commercial solicitation purposes.
