North Carolina Part Year Resident and the Standard Deduction

It appears that TurboTax does not prorate the standard deduction for North Carolina for the time spent in North Carolina. TurboTax provided the FULL standard deduction. That does not appear correct?

Was the post even read?

This appears to be automated generic non-answer by TurboTax.
