Incorrect county tax code

I moved to NC in 2021 from IN. My company paid for me to move here with a promotion. My company never updated my tax information after my move. They reported my taxes to IN and not NC. I filed my 2023 taxes and IN refuses to release my refund in order to pay NC until I amend my taxes. I have gone through and amended my taxes, and the papers are still wrong. I have updated my address, selected non-resident for IN and full year resident for NC. When I view my state taxes for IN it still shows a county code for a resident and 00 for work. How do I get the resident county code to change to 00 (out-of-state)?

    Remove the county code from your w2 entry screen. Your w2 screen should show only your resident state in order to correct the forms. The federal and state know what they received. The w2 screen is where you make the correction.

     

    If you can't remove IN completely from the w2 screen, change the code to 00.
