"Just because I'm a retired Colonel doesn't mean I'm not a CPA."
No one even whispered that, sir. Don't assume things about others, and we won't assume things about you. (my father and my stepfather were AF, as are other members of the family, including a B-52 pilot who led Jr ROTC and basketball in retirement; we are a multitude of our skills...)
Personal-perspective tax issues often are asked by someone using TurboTax, but lost on the internet, because Intuit accounts get you into every Intuit community. A lot of people don't understand this community is a user group for specific software that is other than TT. If you have spent much time here, you've seen it for yourself.
One of the issues comes from how some States want all income reported, and then allocated. Some want only allocated income reported. Some want it all reported and they tax it, then they give back credit for taxes paid on that same income to another State (if any).
"In the NC tax return that is produced, my niece appears as a resident of NC which she is NOT."
She should be qualified for military exemption, though. Of course, military exemptions vary, too, across the States. I'm not up on NC, but it seems you might want a Non-Resident allocation, then?
You can see if any of this helps:

I see it's been a month since you first asked and no one else has stopped in to help, so this might be unique around these parts. Hope that helps.
