<prompt> Human: I currently live in North Carolina, for a NC based company but work at their South Carolina office. My paychecks have deductions for SC state taxes.I know I need to file Federal taxes and NC state taxes, but would I need to file SC taxes? I asked my father who did my taxes before and he insists that I speak with payroll to change taxes from SC to NC on my paystub as according to him the location of the office doesnt matter, but he is frequently wrong about items and usually does the wrong thing and insists his way is right and gets someone in trouble Like trying to fix my car by unscrewing random things.Thank you.Edit: This would be my first year filing taxes on my own and I do drive every week day across the state border to go to the office.  <response>: Yes you need to file taxes in both states. However, whatever you pay to the state you work in will reduce your tax liability in your home state. Depending on the difference in rates, this may leave you owing nothing to your home state.
