I moved from New York to North Carolina in 2024 and did not work, therefore no income .

    If you do not have income, then you aren't required to file a tax return.

    Each state has different rules.

    If you have had no income at all then you do not have anything to enter on a tax return, and nothing to gain from doing so.

     

    Who has to file?
