Needing to wait to file for North Carolina has nothing to do with you or your filing status,
North Carolina is not ready to accept e-filed returns until Mid-February.
According to the State of North Carolina:
"The N.C. Department of Revenue announced that it will begin processing 2021 tax year returns in mid-February, which is several weeks after the start of the nation’s tax season on Monday, January 24, 2022.
This delay is due to the late approval of the state budget, which included multiple tax law changes. The later start date allows NCDOR time to complete the testing of system updates and approve updates in commercial tax preparation software, which are required to implement changes made by the final budget enacted in late November 2021."
