What was your state of residence? I'm adding NC state tax, where my wife lives and work, but it is not allowing me select non-resident for NC for taxpayer, I live in CA.

The taxpayers file married filing jointly on the Federal income tax return.  I am reporting the taxpayer as living in California.  The spouse is living in North Carolina.

In TurboTax, in the North Carolina state income tax return, at the screen What was your state of residence in 2025, I reported the taxpayer had more than one state of residence and the dates of residence as 01/01/2025 through 01/01/2025.

The North Carolina state income tax returns taxes the income of the spouse.

@prasanth-kotaru you spouse can  file Separate for the NC State return..... from the NC Dept of Revenue website: 

"The filing status claimed on the federal return must also be claimed on the North Carolina income tax return.  Generally, if the taxpayer has not filed a federal income tax return, the taxpayer must claim the filing status to which the taxpayer is entitled under the Internal Revenue Code.  However, for a married couple filing a joint federal income tax return, if either the taxpayer or the taxpayer’s spouse is a nonresident and has no North Carolina taxable income for the taxable year, the filing status married filing separately may be claimed on the North Carolina income tax return.  Importantly, once a joint return is filed, separate returns may not be filed for that year after the due date of the return."
