Owe State Taxes

I'm in the military and I have resided in North Carolina in 2023 but I am from Florida. I did put that I have resided in North Carolina in 2023. After my federal tax returns, I still owe around 700 dollars to North Carolina.

 

I'm still trying to figure out why I owe money to North Carolina and why so much. 

 

Is there any way I can amend this? 

 

If anyone can answer this question, that'll be greatly apricated.

    Since you are active military, in the My Info section of the online editions or in the Personal Info section of the desktop editions you should have selected Florida as your resident state.  When asked if you lived in any other state or made money in any other state you must answer NO to each question.

     

    Go back to that section of the program you are using and change your answers.  You do not have North Carolina income if your only income is your military pay.

    My military income wasn't my only income as I did Door Dash in North Carolina. If I already claimed that i resided in North Carolina and tax returns already received, is there a way for me to dispute the money I owe to North Carolina? I find it hard I owe that amount of money when I didn't even make that much money from Door Dash.
