No - that is not correct.
You must have SC taxes withheld on your paycheck.
You will prepare a SC non-resident tax return first and THEN prepare a NC resident tax return second. It is important to complete in that order.
Since you work in SC you will owe tax in that state.
Since you live in NC, you will owe tax in that state; however, you will get a credit for what you paid to SC so that you are not taxed twice on the same dollar of income.
You may owe a few dollars to NC, but it could turn out you owe nothing.
