You don't need to file a NC return if you moved out of that state in 2021. To follow-up on the comments from @MonikaK1, if you had an income source in North Carolina in 2022, such as a rental property, or a trade or business, then even though you moved out of NC in 2021 and now live in UT, you would still have to file a NC return as a non-resident. You would need to report the income to NC and pay whatever tax is due. However, if you have no income source in NC, and no longer live there as of 2021, the year you moved away, then you don't have to file a NC return.
Also, if your former employer sent any tax withholding to NC in 2022, and you want to reclaim that withholding as a refund, then you would need to file a NC return to get that tax refunded to you. You would file as a non-resident.
