Yep...just hope and pray they fix it before tens-of-thousands of others screw up and don't realize they have to zero those numbers. Those Using NC Std Ded in 2021 don't have to worry, because the improper transfer from 2020 is ignored until they put in enough New 2021 deductions to trigger the 2021 Itemized deductions (The carryover values still need to be fixed though).
Luckily, I don't plan to e-file until mid-March anyhow, even if I've already zero'd those carry-over $$. But those in a rush may get unpleasant Audit letters from NC if it isn't fixed fast. Not sure how long it will take the NC software crew to find the proper software code lines and fix it...and troubleshoot it all again. I pray before 24 Feb when e-filing is supposed to start for NC.
