Hi,
My wife and I are NC residents. She is self-employed and did some part-time consulting work for a SC company and received a 1099-NEC from the SC company. Do we need to file a State form for SC? This is in response to the 'Other Ste income' prompt in TurboTax desktop.
Details:
I'm hoping to not have to pay for an extra Turbotax State and the extra fee for filing another state's tax electronically.
Thanks for any help provided

SC won't tax the income she earned remotely working from an NC location. But it WILL tax the portion she earned from work she performed within SC. Here is SC's filing rule:
"A nonresident individual receiving South Carolina income from wages, rental property, businesses, or other investments in South Carolina, must file an SC1040 South Carolina Individual Income Tax Return and Schedule NR Nonresident Schedule."
https://dor.sc.gov/tax/individual-income/faq
The income she earned working in SC is "South Carolina income".
She'll be able to claim a credit on her NC return for the tax paid to SC, so in effect she won't be double-taxed.

Thank you very much for your reply! It was most helpful, especially the link you provided which then provided a link to the specific SC tax code. I read the the law (and bolded the relevant parts) which I believe confirms the same as you mentioned.
