@lizablaney It sounds like you are Married Filing Jointly, but your husband may need to file a North Carolina Resident return and a Non-Resident New York return if he was there only temporarily for work.
Click this link for info on How to File a Non-Resident State Return.
If you are a California Resident but have no income/tax paid to report, you are correct that you don't need to file. You can delete California in the States section and retain your other states.

Since you are filing separate state returns, click this link for more info on Filing Separate States.
