I fooled around with the Online software for doing the W-2 allocation. And I di have to go thru the NC W-2 allocation page again.....and the second time thru the numbers kept when I revisited.
SO.....It does appear to keep the NY W-2 split, In A Way ....BUT in part 1 of the actual paper form printout from "Online" software, the part that shows the W-2 split up, it does not keep properly and shows more than the-total W-2 income ....part 2 of that form did show the proper amount of NC wages though in my test...ahhhhh, so there is a mismatch in the NC Online software for that worksheet page. The Proper NC income from the "Interview" seems to transfer OK to Part 2 in my test...but I'm not sure you can trust that it will remain so thru actual filing final filing steps. (And you do have to go thru the NC error checks to set some zero's that don't seem to be handled during the allocations).

What to do.?
Get the Desktop software and hope it woks better for you....or bite the bullet and go to a local professional to file this year (not a seasonal storefront though). IF you stay in NC, next year's taxes would be easier, even fi you continue to work remotely for the NY employer....since none of the PY-NR allocation forms would be needed.
IT's true I'm not a professional tax preparer...I've used and worked thru the nuts and bolts of the TTX NC software for18 years now, and know it pretty well, but I can be fallible in many ways.
