The amount you had withheld might not have been enough to cover the actual taxes due.

North Carolina exempts all Social Security benefits from income taxes. However, other forms of retirement income are taxed at the North Carolina flat income tax rate of 5.499%. You probably did not have enough state tax withheld to cover your state tax due for the year.
