I lived in North Carolina from 1 Jan to 26 Feb in 2017 but didn't have any income there. Then I moved to the UK for the rest of the year. Do I still have to file state tax?

No. As long as you were a part-year resident of North Ca...

No. As long as you were a part-year resident of North Carolina during tax year 2017 and:

you received no income while a resident of North Carolina, or
you received no income from NC sources while a nonresident.

What if I had Obamacare?

That shouldn't affect your NC return, just your federal.

If I earned interest from a bank account which was opened in North Carolina, is that interest allocable to North Carolina?

It depends.

If you were a nonresident, you would only need to report the interest income if the income is derived from a "business, trade, profession, or occupation carried on in North Carolina".

If the income is strictly from investment income, you would not have a filing requirement.

Please see the attached link for more information on whether you have a filing requirement or not. North Carolina bases the requirement to file based upon whether you had to file a federal return and the amount of your federal gross income as well as the source of your North Carolina income.
