Pension - is it North Carolina Source Income?

I now live in the UK but resided and worked in NC for many years. I receive a private pension from the company I worked for in NC, although that company is now headquartered in another State. As a non-resident, I am unsure whether a private pension is considered "derived from a business, trade, profession, or occupation carried on in North Carolina", or whether this relates only to current employment. Can anyone shed some light, please?

Pension income is considered to be reported in the state(s) you lived when you received it.

If you didn't live in the US at all in 2020, you don't need to report this income on any state return.

However, if any North Carolina taxes were withheld on the income, you would file a Non-Resident State Return there.

If this applies to you, this link has instructions for How to File a Non-Resident State Return.
