Investors & landlords
You need to file two returns and you need to do it in a specific order to get the computer to calculate it correctly.
First, delete all the state returns that you have created so far. You have to start over.
Then, you're going to create a state return for SC. You will tell it you are a non-resident. Go through all of the steps and tell the program that you sold the property in South Carolina but all of the rest of your income is not South Carolina income. South Carolina will tax you on the property sale and you'll owe them some money.
Last, you'll create your resident return for North Carolina. You will enter everything in and the system will enter in a credit for taxes paid to other states. North Carolina will also tax the home sale. But it will deduct the taxes paid to South Carolina so that you don't pay the same taxes twice.
