Not sure how the NY forms work, but for MFJ NC taxes, the mixed state residency couples end up the NC NonResident/Part-Year resident forms.    So it might just appear that you are being considered a PY-NC resident . That transfers all your combined Federal income at first, BUT, during NC's income allocation pages, the NY resident  and the NC-NY spouse would take out their NY-related income, and only enter the NC PY-Spouse's 3 months of income in the appropriate boxes.   Yeah, it may take a couple weekends work to get it right, but if done right, line 13 of the NC Form D-400 should show a decimal multiplier which reduces the total combined gross income from everywhere (after allowed NC deductions), down to just the minor taxable portion of the 3-mo NC-spouse's part-year income. _________________ Very roughly speaking, that should end up with line 14 of the D-400, being just what's left of the NC-NY spouse's  NC-only income being subject to taxes by NC ________________________________  

Are you new to having a small business?   There is no such thing as filing a quarterly tax return.   You might need to make a quarterly estimated payment---which you can do on the IRS payment site.  Your actual 2025 tax return  -- on Form 1040 -- will be prepared and filed once----the 2025 software becomes available in late November, and you will not actually file a 2025 return until 2026.    Your Form 1040 will combine all of your income including any W-2 income and your self-employment income.   You file a Form 1040 one time per year.   https://www.irs.gov/payments       Are you an independent contractor?   Are you a sole proprietor? Some information you will need if you are new to having a small business:   If you have self-employment income for which you will pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare,  you will need to use online Premium software or any version of the desktop software download so that you can prepare a Schedule C for your business expenses.     https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/self-employed/help/how-do-i-report-income-from-self-employment/00/26653   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/self-employed/help/what-is-the-self-employment-tax/00/25922   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/import-export-data-files/enter-self-employment-business-expenses-like-home/L1k6HJY4A_US_en_US?uid=m6jrthmp     If you live in a state with a state income tax, you might need to make estimated payments to your state.   https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tips/small-business-taxes/the-home-office-deduction/L1RZyYxzv https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/estimated-taxes/make-estimated-tax-payments/L5svMESaC_US_en_US?uid=mdna5aoh     https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/calculators/self-employed/   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/business-taxes/discussion/self-employed-don-t-miss-these-tax-moves/00/3400413     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/import-export-data-files/enter-schedule-c/L5Fz3j5us_US_en_US?uid=m6a6gknk   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/payroll-additions-deductions/qualify-qualified-business-income-deduction/L0rM2cIIQ_US_en_US?uid=m5zpoxad   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/self-employment-taxes/self-employed-expenses-deduct/L37ZS1B8T_US_en_US?uid=m6fntpg7
