North Carolina Income Taxes and NC State Tax
North Carolina
"The North Star State"
State income taxes can vary widely. Some states have high taxes but offer numerous deductions, while others impose no income tax at all. Navigating these complexities can be challenging. Fortunately, online tax filing can simplify the process and potentially save you money. Let's explore North Carolina taxes in more detail.
- State return only regulations*: Per IRS and North Carolina state tax agency regulation - not eFile.com - you can NOT just prepare and e-File a state return (with the exception of California) without also eFiling the IRS return on the same platform. If you have filed your federal return already, you can prepare a North Carolina state return on eFile.com and then download, print, and sign the return before you mail it in.

1. Late Filing Penalty: A late filing penalty is assessed when you don't file by the due date, is 5% of the unpaid tax per month, and cannot exceed 25% of the income tax due.
2. Late Payment Penalty: Assessed at 10% of the tax due when the income tax is not paid by the due date. In case you get an extension and pay 90% or more of your income tax by the original due date, then you don't have to pay a late penalty fee as long as you pay the tax by the extended deadline.
