State tax filing

Did you start your return by saying that your residence was in NC, and that you had lived in another state (Texas) and told TurboTax when you moved?

 

Then, did you enter your Social Security distributions on your SSA-1099?

 

When I did this on my test return, then 85% of my SS was taxable (correct), and this amount was subtracted from NC income as deduction from income.

 

You should not have to make any adjustments at all - the amount of taxable Social Security on line 6b on the 1040 ought to be subtracted automatically from your NC income.

 

So I would go back to NOT entering any adjustments to NC, because this ought to be automatic.
