Why would my North Carolina Residency show as Non-Resident if I lived in North Carolina from the beginning of 2018 until August?

I lived in 3 states this last year. After NC it was Maryland then Virginia.

You appear as a North Carolina Non-Resident because the state uses the same forms and schedules for Part-Year and Non-Residents. The title of which begins with Non-Residents. 

You are not a full year resident, rather a part year resident of North Carolina. As such, your tax forms are the same as a non-resident.
