Question

I live in CA and sold a home in NC, but did not make a profit. Do I need to file in NC, and if so I cannot find that section on the NC return.

If you did not have any reportable income, you will not need to file an nonresident income tax return in North Carolina. Please be aware the filing threshold amounts are based upon your federal gross income.

 

Please see the link below for amounts.  

 

North Carolina filing threshold amounts

 

If you determine you do meet the filing requirements, you will need to enter the sale information in the federal section of the program.  

 

You will then start your North Carolina return using the steps below.

  1. Select State in the black panel on the left hand side of your screen when logged into TurboTax. 
  2. This will take you to a screen titled Let's get your state taxes done right.  Click continue on this screen.
  3. You will see the following screen titled Status of your state returns.  Select Add another state to add North Carolina.

Be sure to only report the sale of the home on your North Carolina return.  You may need to zero out other amounts as you go through the North Carolina interview questions to ensure they are not reported on your nonresident return.
