I lived in Alabama but had no income then moved to north Carolina where I work now do I still have to file a part year return for alabama

No, according to the instructions for filing a part-year return for Alabama, you only need to file if you had earned income during the period of time you were a resident of Alabama.

Here is a link to that instruction booklet for your reference:  http://revenue.alabama.gov/incometax/2016_forms/16f40bk.pdf
