Non-Military Spouse State Taxes portion is confusing

 

I am military, resident of TX.  Spouse is non-mil, and allowed to choose my resident state as hers.  We are stationed in NC.  She has a job in NC.  Do we need to file NC state taxes or just press on and ignore the apps warnings?  If yes, then how do I make sure on the app/website while doing the state taxes is only accounting for HER income and not my military non taxable income? 

Currently the app is not very specific on these considerations.  Would do developers good to sit down and go page by page with a military customer to hear how we could improve the app.   I can tell something is off because she only just started that job and the State tax due is the most I have ever owed come time to check out.  Otherwise, ready to file.

Thanks in advance.
