Congrats on the move! Based on what you are telling me, you will need to file a part year resident return for NC and CA.
While moving within the same state doesn’t change much when it comes to filing your taxes, if you moved to a different state, there are a few things to know as you get started on your returns.
- You probably have a new state income tax rate
Each state taxes income differently—some don’t tax income at all! The state you moved to most likely taxes income at a different rate than the state you moved from. Just enter all of your info in TurboTax and we’ll calculate your state tax rate accordingly and include it in your state Tax Return Summary.
- You might have to file a part-year return for each state you lived in this year
Depending on when you moved, you might need to file a part-year return for each state you lived in this year. When entering your personal information, let us know when and where you moved. After you finish your federal taxes, you’ll see your part-year states listed in the state tax section. Start with the state you moved from, and we’ll guide you through the rest.

You will have to allocate your income per the time in each state you lived. Here are instructions for that: https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/income/help/how-do-i-allocate-split-income-for-a-part-year-state-r...
I am not sure if this is your first home or not, but there are several deductions you can take on your federal return which will carry over to your state returns. Here is some information on all of the deductions you can take: https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tips/home-ownership/buying-your-first-home/L5QxJLcQT. Even if this is not your first home, most of the deductions in this link still apply.
Hope this helps you!
