Remote worker moved out of state (LA) mid year. Employer is based in a NC but Ive never lived there.

As the subject reads I lived in LA for 6 months in 2024. Then i moved out of the country but continued my same job. The entire year I worked remotely for a company based in NC. I only received a W2 from that company. 

 

 When selecting residency status for LA state taxes an info bar came up that read "Part-year residents have the option to file a resident or nonresident return, whichever is more beneficial." 

 

Does this mean that I can file my LA state taxes as a non resident instead of part year resident, since it is more beneficial to me?
