I'm not sure that is correct. The link to the NC DOR site says, "Beginning with the 2018 tax year, an individual may claim North Carolina itemized deductions even if the individual does not claim federal itemized deductions." Also, the amount claimed as a QCD for the feds, IS included in NC taxable income, but NC allows a that amount to be included in the itemized deduction. TurboTax does not seem to accommodate this. It did last year.
