Yes, You may claim the Volunteer Firefighter VIP deduction. To claim.

  1. Log into Turbo Tax

  2. Click on State Taxes in the left pane of your return

  3. As you  scroll through the screens, you will reach a page that says "Here's the income that South Carolina handles differently".

  4. Go to Public Service and click on Start for Volunteer Income..

  5. Enter the amount of income related to the service. Limit your entry to no more than $3,000 (or $6,000 if both spouses qualify).

  6. This amount will be subtracted as a Volunteer Deduction on your SC tax return.
