Because you live in South Carolina, SC taxes all your income that is taxed by the federal government. Because you earned the money in NC, NC taxes that income. But, SC gives you a credit for the tax you pay to NC, up to what the SC tax would have been. That way, you don't get taxed on the same dollar twice, but you do pay the highest tax rate of the two states on that dollar.
