I live in Virginia but earned income ONLY in north Carolina while in college. Do I have to file in Virginia too?

It depends but if you consider your permanent state of residence to be VA, then you will need to file a VA resident state income tax return to report all income from all sources (including NC sourced income).

You will also need to file a NC nonresident state tax return to report your NC-source wages only. You will get a state income tax credit in VA for any NC state income taxes that you paid on your nonresident NC state income tax return.

You will want to work on your nonresident NC state income tax return first. You will then take a tax credit from your nonresident NC state income taxes on your resident VA state income tax return. (Please note that you will only get a tax credit for your NC state income taxes up to the amount of VA state income taxes that would have been paid if the income was earned in VA).  The credit for taxes paid to another state section will be at the end of your residence state's interview process.

Just follow the TurboTax guide when working on your states (remembering to do your nonresident state return first) and TurboTax will do all the calculations and credits to your resident states return

Here is additional information about filing in multiple states (select "see more answer" to view the entire attachment)
