State tax filing

You will reduce your North Carolina taxes by taking a credit from Virginia.

 

Taxes are withheld in any State that you either lived or worked in.

 

  • You lived and worked in Virginia for a portion of the year.  
  • In addition you worked in Virginia for an additional time. 
  • I would expect that the income in Virginia will match box 1.
  • You then lived in North Carolina for a portion of the year.
  • Only that portion of the income (for the time you lived there) should be attributed to North Carolina.
  • The combined State total will be more than your Federal income.
  • You will take a credit in North Carolina because you did not earn any income on that W-2 in North Carolina.
