Possibly. It depends on his income and what credits he qualifies for and his marital filing status. NC does have a $125 Child Tax Credit and some historic structures credits. It also uses the Federal Adjusted Gross Income as a starting point, so if his income was less than $12,950 for federal, then he would not have any state income. There is an income deduction of up to $3,000 for each qualifying child on the NC return.
Did he itemize his NC return? How much were the itemized deductions if so?
It comes down to does he have taxable income? If he does, then how much taxable income does he have? If his income is less than his standard or itemized deductions and Child Deduction, then he would get it all back.
If this is not the case, then it is possible that there is an entry error on the W2 that was entered in the federal section. Did you make an adjustment to the income in the state section?
Look at lines 6 through 14 to see how his taxable income was arrived at and 15 of the D-400 to see the taxable income. You can see the D-400 by selecting Tax Tools>>Tools>>View Tax Summary>>Preview My D-400.
If the income doesn't make sense, start by walking back through the state questions, then go to the W2 to see if there is state income in box 16 on the W2. You can get there by clicking Federal>>Income and Wages>>Edit on the summary screen next to the W2.
