I lived the first 3 months in NC. My company is in SC. I moved to Florida in April and worked there as a remote employee the rest of the year. I paid state tax in both NC and SC. My W-2 shows partial earnings in both states. I filled out tax forms for both NC and SC. The NC taxes owed shows $0, yet SC wants another $1100. Why is that? I would think I would get taxes rebated to me for both states or at least from SC.
Can someone explain?
Thanks.
If you did not work in South Carolina, you would not have to pay state income taxes for the remote work- if you had any tax withholding from SC you would file a nonresident tax return reporting zero SC income to get a refund of the withholding. You would report the income for the first three months on a Part-Year North Carolina tax return.

Thanks! When I reread the question, TurboTax asked what I earned as a resident of SC. I put on 0 and I owed no tax for either NC or SC.
I have a somewhat similar situation where I lived in GA working remotely for a firm in NY for 6 moths then moved to NYC. Where would the question be that they asked how much I earned in GA. I want to make sure I answered it correctly.
