NC resident (self employed) received 1099-NEC from SC for consulting. Need to file SC state?

[CHL]

Hi,

My wife and I are NC residents.  She is self-employed and did some part-time consulting work for a SC company and received a 1099-NEC from the SC company.  Do we need to file a State form for SC?  This is in response to the 'Other Ste income' prompt in TurboTax desktop.

Details:

• Most of her consulting work (HR, admin compliance stuff) was via phone calls (90% of time) from home to the SC company with an occasional drive down to SC to meet /w the client (~10% of time)
• 1099-NEC details from the SC company:
  • Box1 (non emp compensation): $46K
  • Box 4 (Fed tax witheld): $0
  • Box 5 (State tax witheld): $0
  • Box 7 (State income): $0

I'm hoping to not have to pay for an extra Turbotax State and the extra fee for filing another state's tax electronically.

Thanks for any help provided.

It depends. If the work was virtually all performed in your resident state then no return is required for South Carolina (SC). If the business is not situated in SC there is nothing to do for SC.
