Since you are a resident of Massachusetts, 100% of your income is taxable by Massachusetts. Visiting your second home in North Carolina does not make your Social Security benefits you received while there taxable by NC. 100% of your North Carolina sourced income (which would include your rental property) is taxable by North Carolina. and should be reported on your NC non-resident tax return. Your rental income is also taxable by Massachusetts, but they will give you a credit for taxes paid to other states so that you won't be subject to double taxation. Although if your only NC income is $2,038 then you probably won't owe any NC tax. Because you have a rental property in NC, you should file a NC non-resident return every year.
When you prepare your state tax returns, you should prepare your non-resident North Carolina return first.
