If I live in NC but work in Virginia do I need to file NC state taxes. I only get a W2 from Virginia?

I work in Virginia but moved to North Carolina in September. I will file federal but am not sure if I need to file state taxes in Virginia and North Carolina

Yes, you will need to file a NC resident return.

You will do the Federal return first, then the non-resident return of Virginia, and then the resident return of North Carolina.

North Carolina will tax you on all your income however you will get a credit for taxes paid to Virginia.

TurboTax will help you make this process easy for you, just follow the order I showed you.

Extremely helpful...thank you. In the future should I have taxes taken out of my pay and sent to North Carolina or just keep it as is (Virginia tax taken out)? Again, thank you very much.
