North Carolina Part Year Resident and the Standard Deduction

It appears that TurboTax does not prorate the standard deduction for North Carolina for the time spent in North Carolina. TurboTax provided the FULL standard deduction. That does not appear correct?

If you'd like, we can look at your return and see exactly what you see to  help come to a resolution. The return will be scrubbed and won't include any of your personal details.

 

If you're using TurboTax Online:

Once you're logged in to your account,

- on the left hand panel, click on Tax Tools and then choose Tools

- on the pop up window, select Share my file with Agent

- you'll see a message saying you'll give us a copy of your tax return. Your personal information will be changed so we can't see any private information.

- click okay and you'll get another message with a token

 

If you're using TurboTax Desktop:
