State tax filing

If you moved this year, for 2019 you will file as a part-year resident in both NY and NC.  NC can tax all your income until the date you become a resident of NY.  NY can tax all your income after that point.  You became an NY resident for tax purposes on the day you began living in your new home in NY.

 

Once you become an NY resident, from that point on NC can only tax income you earn from actually (physically) working in NC.

 

So if you are now an NY resident and you no longer actually work within NC, your earnings (from the date of NY residency) are taxable only by your new home state of NY.   So, if that's your situation now, your employer should withhold only NY taxes. 

 

If your employer is unable or unwilling to withhold NY taxes, you will have to begin making quarterly estimated tax payments to NY.
