You will want to make sure they are doing the withholding for 2020 to South Carolina. When you are completing your taxes for 2019, on the North Carolina return, you will have to allocate for the Part Year resident the amount you earned while you were a North Carolina resident. This will be the amount you are taxed by North Carolina so you should get a pretty good refund.
For South Carolina, part year resident have two options- TurboTax will help determine which is better for you- but if you have questions as you are working on the tax return, you can post again.
An individual who is a South Carolina resident for only a portion of the tax year may choose the filing method below that is the most beneficial:
- Compute South Carolina tax as a South Carolina resident for the entire year. File the SC1040 including all federal taxable income and use the SC1040TC to claim a credit for Income Tax paid to another state.
- Compute South Carolina tax using the Schedule NR. Include in Column B of the Schedule NR only the amounts that are taxable to South Carolina. Amounts taxable to South Carolina include all items of income, gain, loss, or deductions earned from South Carolina sources or while you are a South Carolina resident. File the SC1040 and attach the completed Schedule NR.
