We actually were able to get it pulled - so please disregard my last message.
I reviewed your return under both scenarios:
1. both you and your wife as full time residents of NC with a credit on your NC return for tax paid to ID, and
2. you as a part time resident of NC and your wife as a full time resident, with only paying NC tax on your NC income and no credit for tax paid to ID
I wasn't able to recreate the issue you had with not being able to allocate your income under the second scenario. However, in both scenarios, the net NC tax liability didn't change. Your refund was the same regardless of which way you file. The simplest method would be to file under scenario 1 - as full time residents for both and your wife.
