Hello
I have a client who was W2 employed in NC for whole year of 2017 & will continue to be employed in NC for 2018. In 2017 he was resident of NC from 01/01 until 10/31. He bought a house in SC moved in 11/01. Going forward for 2018 it will be NC NR & SC resident take credit for taxes paid in NC.
My question, I would be mentioning SC address in 2017 tax return but no SC source income would it trigger audit issue from SC. I want to file part year NC 01/01 until 10/31 all W2 income allocated to NC & part year SC from 11/01 until 12/31 with no SC income. Is this OK or any of you would be suggesting some other route.
