okay, what that should mean is your employer sent the amount in Box 17 to the State of KY.
Now, go look at the NC state return from 2017 and look at the withholdings listed on Line 20a ; what is there? Can you determine where that number came from (other W-2 most likely if there were any) I would expect what is on that W-2 from KY is NOT there. and did you owe a lot of $$$ to NC last year?
