How do I see my state return before I file? I believe it is wrong as I was in NC only part of the year?

Frankly the tax amount appears they are  taxing for the full year based on prior returns.

How do I see my state return before I file? I believe it is wrong as I was in NC only part of the year?

If you get into the middle of your tax file, and then go up to "MyAccount" at the top of the page, and then "Print Center", you will be prompted to pay now for your tax software (you must pay now with a credit card). Then you can print copies whenever you want to.

____________________________

IF you have not yet finished your Federal section yet...ignore the NC part and fully complete the Federal section...and make sure it error checks OK.   

At this point, the NC software is assuming that most of your Federal income, is also NC income subject to taxes.

Then, when you go into the actual NC interview, you will be presented with a lot of W-2 and other Income allocation boxes.  Those boxes are where you tell the software what smaller portion of each Federal income filed is NC-income.  All the boxes must have either a $$ amount or a zero.  Once you indicate what smaller amount was NC-Taxable income, then your taxes will be chopped down according to what portion is NC-taxable.


On the form D-400...your TOTAL taxable income is on line 12...but line 13 is a decimal multiplier that chops it down according to the decimal fraction received by you in NC.  Then the smaller amount is being taxed.
