Why am I showing SC tax due (on the top left) when neither I or my husband earned any income from SC in 2020?

I am the only income earner, and I earned all my income in WA in 2020.

You'll have to define your place of actual Domicile during 2020.

 

Did live in a home with the spouse in SC, but work only temporarily in WA (like a summer job), then return to SC?

 

Or , did you live in one state...then move to the other where you expect to stay for the foreseeable future (which way, and which states....from....to...?)

 

OR, are you in the military, and HOR is SC ?

I lived and worked in WA for the full year of 2020, my Husband lived in SC until June then moved to WA. We are staying in WA permanently.

Since your husband was a resident of South Carolina for the beginning of the year, he was considered a resident of that state until he moved to Washington, unless his intent was to leave South Carolina from the beginning of the year.

 

He would be considered a nonresident of South Carolina if he had a permanent home outside of South Carolina all year.  Please see the following for more information on the criteria used by South Carolina to determine if you are a resident or nonresident.

 

SC resident criteria

 

If you determine he was a resident for the first part of 2020, he will need to file a part-year South Carolina resident return.
