How do I file NC state taxes for my wife for income she earned (while I'm a TX resident)?

My wife is a NC resident and has a W-2. All of her income prior was prior to our marriage. I am a TX resident (no state income tax). If we file jointly, will NC tax my income? How do I work this out in turbotax to file accurately?

If she is not covered under MSRRA and your state of residence is TX (while your spouse's state of residence is NC), then you would still be able to file your federal income taxes jointly but you would need to file your state income taxes as married filing separately.
