@Karis_F   @mauel  _____________________ Yeah..it IS a strange NC software bug..   NC part-year W-2 Allocation of $$ I think I have a workaround...maybe not perfect but it "seems" to work. I noticed the same problem this user experienced.   My system: Windows 11, Desktop Premier with NC, all updates to date installed. (Don't know if the Online shas the same problem) _____________________________ I created a file for a part-year NC resident, who moved from TX to NC on 1 June 2025. Same employer Before & After the move. $100,000 of total W-2 income. $40,000 in TX and $60,000 after moving to NC but no NC line on the W-2 itself. (Texas....because I didn't want TTX pestering met to download another state beyond the NC I already have. ___________________ During the W-2 allocation of $$ in the NC part-year tax return, if you set the NC-PY allocation to $60,000 in the first line of the allocation table...it stays ONLY until you go thru the error checks and review...until just at the point you step to the Audit Risk page. Where the PY $$ reset to $100,000 in the NC tax return and screw up the PY allocations. __________________   _______________________ Also...if I copy the issuer into the second line for the remaining $40,000 and designate it as Not-NC income......it also doesn't keep the top-line at $60,000 thru the Audit Risk step, and messes up the NC-PY calculations. _____________________   ______________________   IF, instead I, indicate the second line as the $60,000 NC-PY income, and set the first line to $40,000 as Not-NC...then it "kind-of" works. At the Audit Risk step, the first line for Not-NC income changes to $100,000 again, but it doesn't seem to adversely affect the NC-PY. calculations...(but I can't know if it changes during the actual filing....and I don't want to try that and get charged $25) __________________________________________ _____________________ __________________ Here's a Diagnostic file for the NC-PY set up Correctly in the first allocation line as $60k and PY-NC, but the file is not yet continued thru the error checks, reviews, and not at the Audit Risk step where the calc suddenly changes.
