If you paid in PA tax, but live in NC you will need to prepare two state returns. One non-resident return for PA and one resident return for NC. When filing the returns make sure to file PA first as you can claim a credit on your NC return for taxes paid to another state.
To file a non-resident return. Follow these steps:
- With your return open, select My Info in the left-hand menu.
- Then, on the Personal info summary screen, scroll down to Other State Income, and select Edit.
- At the Did you make money in any other states? question, answer Yes and make sure your nonresident state(s) are selected from the drop-down.
- Select Continue to return to your Personal info summary.
After you finish your federal return, you'll automatically move to the State tab, where you'll see your nonresident state(s) listed in addition to your resident state.
