Taxpayer lives in NC and was a NC resident for all of 2020.  Spouse lives in CA and was a CA resident for all of 2020.  Is there a way to mark the residency question boxes on page 1 of D-400 so that taxpayer's is YES and spouse's is NO?  I've already put a '2' in screen 55.241 for the spouse, but it doesn't change anything on the form.

Has the spouse left forever? or is the spouse away temporarily? Maybe a NC resident with credit for taxes paid of CA or vis-versa. 

I don't know the answer to your original question.

Answers are easy. Questions are hard!

Spouse never lived in NC.  Taxpayer was originally in CA.  Sch CA-NR lets me put different resident states for each person, but NC isn't as straight-forward.
