Yes. If he is a permanent resident of NC but was in VA
on a temporary basis (going to school is considered a temporary basis) and earned income in VA, then he will need to file
a VA nonresident state income tax return (for his VA source income only -
his VA wages). He will also need to file a NC resident state tax return (for
all income from all sources including VA wages). He will get a state income
tax credit in NC for any VA state income taxes that he paid on his
nonresident VA state income tax return.
He
will want to work on his nonresident VA state income tax return first. He
will then take a tax credit from his nonresident VA state income taxes on his
resident NC state income tax return. (Please note that he will only get a tax
credit for his VA state income taxes up to the amount of NC state income taxes
that would have been paid if the income was earned in NC). The credit for
taxes paid to another state section will be at the end of his residence
state's interview process.
Just
follow the TurboTax guide when working on your states (remembering to do his
nonresident state return first) and TurboTax will do all the calculations and
credits to your resident states return
