Listed below is income that should be added to your North Carolina return:
Interest Income From Other State Obligations
North Carolina does not tax interest income from notes, bonds, and other state obligations and political subdivisions from North Carolina; however, North Carolina does tax all interest income from other state obligations even if it is not taxable by the Federal government. This includes exempt interest dividends received from regulated investment companies (mutual funds) to the extent such dividends do not represent interest from obligations of North Carolina or its political subdivisions.
