State tax filing

For Part Year Residents, North Carolina tax return, you only get taxed on the North Carolina income- however, North Carolina allows the full standard deduction- it does not prorate it according to the time you were a resident of North Carolina.  This means that if you filed Married-Joint, $21,500 of your NORTH CAROLINA only income is not taxed.

 

This is actually very generous and counter-intuitive, since most states apply everything pro-rata.
