NC State duplicating W2 info

I am completing a NC State NR return. The software is pulling over my Federal W2 info, however it is duplicating one of the W2s and when I correct it on the screen where you verify what income was earned from NC as a non resident it will  not save the edit I make. Meaning it is duplicating the NC non resident income line. I have started over but cannot get it to work correctly. Any suggestions? My Federal return is already files and did NOT duplicate the W2.

    Go back to the w2 screens in the federal income section and change the state information there to pull over correctly. Move or delete numbers in that area until your NC is correct. Your resident state automatically taxes all income and you need the nonresident correct.

    Example:  w2 form would look like this in the state section

    • Resident state - total income minus NC income
    • NC nonresident state -NC income
