Question

Part time resident status

I am doing taxes for my parents who lived in CA for the first 3 months of the year and North Carolina for the remaining 9. For the NC state taxes, I split up the amounts earned in NC for the 9 months. The next screen asks for how much of their social security was paid or incurred as a result of income reported in NC. 

 

I am confused on this-do I again put the portion that was earned during their time in NC? 12,114 out of $16,152. It then taxes them a bunch of money. Doesn't seem right.

 

Also, they are taxing them on depreciation of a sewer line of a rental they own in CA.

    North Carolina allows a subtraction for Social Security benefits taxed on your federal return.

     

    Enter the amount of Social Security your parents received while living in NC on the screen Part-Year Resident Income Allocations.

     

    Enter the same amount as a subtraction on the next screen under SS/RRB Benefits. This will subtract the amount. The NC refund/tax due box should change when you do this.

     

    Rental income from California is taxed by NC. North Carolina part-year residents pay tax on income earned everywhere while a resident.

     

    Enter the amount of rental income received while living in NC in the column North Carolina Income While a Nonresident.

     

    You can claim a credit for tax paid to California on that income.

    On the income allocations, what goes under NC resident income vs income while non resident. My parents lived in NC 9 months and CA 3 months.

     

     They receive interest, pensions, and social security, plus the rental income. I was splitting up the interest, pension, and SS by months and allocating 9 months in the left column.

    Also, on page with SS/RRB if total SS was $16,152 and I calculated $12,114 was earned while living in NC, do I put the balance in NC adjustments while non resident?

     

    my parents never have to pay state tax in California so it’s confusing to see they are owing in NC
