State tax filing
I would suggest getting a corrected W-2 from your employer instead of filing a non resident state return just to be safe. It may have just been a printing error.....
If this is not the case then you will have to do the non resident return first. You will do a nonresident return with North Carolina and indicate that no income is North Carolina source income. You will enter your W-2 exactly as it is reported to you with the North Carolina wages and withholding. Make sure you prepare all nonresident returns before your resident state return, to ensure proper calculations.

Nonresident income is income from another state you didn't live in during the year, and includes any of the following:

Your employer withheld state tax for the wrong state. Under most circumstances, you’ll have to file a nonresident return to recover the incorrectly-withheld taxes.
Notify your employer right away so it doesn't happen again!
