• computer systems analysts, computer programmers, software engineers or other similarly skilled workers;
• agricultural employees; and

North Carolina Payroll for Employers

North Carolina Income Tax Withholding

North Carolina requires employers to withhold state income tax from employees' wages and remit the amounts withheld to the Department of Revenue.

Any employer that does business or has an employee in North Carolina, whether the employer is a state resident or not, must withhold state tax. However, to avoid double taxation for residents, North Carolina withholding is not required if the employer is required to withhold taxes from those wages for the other state or jurisdiction.
