My W2 Company I work for paid North Carolina 38.99 dollars in taxes from my paycheck because I worked 3 days at a clients site as a consultant. When filing the North Carolina return they are saying I owe another 19 dollars. I just want to make sure I'm doing it right. Its annoying.. Thoughts?

Being $19 off on $39 of withholding is not unusual. It's more likely right than wrong. But you haven't provided enough info for a concrete answer.

What information would you need? The W2 had my State wages, tips, etc. 1688.00.

Follow the NC tax form. That said, $60 is about right on $1688 of NC source income.
