Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Opinion:

 

I'm going to disagree with the part-year NC csuggestion......He was only in NC a short time, did not remain in NC, and certainly was not there over 6 mos....when he might have been forced into doing a part-year resident tax return for NC.

 

File non-resident for NC and full yearresident for PA.   After completely filling out the Federal tax return, make sure the NC non-resident tax return is worked on first.....And then the PA full year resident tax return....and take a credit for taxes paid to NC on the PA tax return.

 

Do not indicate he moved to-or-from PA during the year,   but indicate NC as an "Other" state he worked in during 2020.
