W2 part time resident 2 states; only taxed for one
I was a part-time resident of Virginia until August, then moved to North Carolina to work remotely while still being employed by a company based out of Virginia through the rest of the year.
As an example, my entire yearly income is $100,000.
My W2 shows my entire income was taxed as state income in Virginia despite informing my employer that I was moving to a different state.
(example: state wages: $100,000, state income tax: $6,000).
Income in North Carolina was not taxed in North Carolina but still is reported as state wages.
(example: state wages: $30,000, state income tax: $0).
If I file as a part-year resident in NC, it shows that I owe state taxes for the $30,000 state wages that were earned while living in NC but were taxed by the State of Virginia. Can I claim Tax Credits in my North Carolina part-time resident tax return for state income tax paid in Virginia?
Or will I need to have my W2 corrected to reflect my move to North Carolina by my employer before filing my return?
