......and they say they are targeting "early" April to start issuing refunds (if you are getting one).

Does this mean we shouldn't e-file via TT until then, or can we e-file earlier, and TT will save the return and forward it on to NC DOR then?
24th is currently the soonest TTX will allow NC to be e-filed... (and you cannot get it back once e-filed).....so archived starting the 24th.

#1) Still, I wouldn't e-file until the first week in March at the soonest. You don't want to be the first test cases with possible screw-ups that delay you even further.

#2) IF you are Itemizing deductions on your NC taxes, check the NC interview again for any carryover Charitable contributions from last year showing up in the NC interview. Those $$ may be waaaaay wrong and need to be zero'd out by you first. (NC allowed people who donated over 60% of AGI cash to carry the excess to be used in 2021....over 50% of AGI for Items, over 30% of AGI for capital gain property) . Unless you were in that extremely rarefied area for your 2020 taxes, you should have 0's for NC Charitable carryover $$
