Question

Tax Year Prior to 2020: My wife paid state tax to NC this year but since I am military, she can claim FL, how do I get TurboTax to let me tell it that we paid state tax we didn't have to?

You and wife will have to claim Florida residence status and claim NC as a non-residence. However, some states will still tax you even though you were not residence of that state but derive income from it.

That would be in direct violation of Public Law 115-207 section 302 and the NCDOR Tax website dictating how military spouse income is claimed after 31december 2018. Last year TurboTax gave me the option of telling them how much state tax was withheld and how much money was made in NC, which I put at $0 and I received back all the state tax withheld that year. For some reason when TurboTax isn’t able to figure out there is state tax being withheld and is saying it is $0 this year when that is not true.
