Legal Question in Tax Law in North Carolina

I received an audit letter from the NC Department of Revenue. I have to go back 3 years, not a problem; get my tax forms for each year W2s, etc, not a problem. My question is can they ask me about income I've received in other states? I live in SC and work in NC, I also had a business 2 of the 3 years in question but only in SC, I did not do business at all in NC. Can they question me about that business even though it does not pertain to NC taxes?

Short answer-

You are taxed on all income earned, regardless of the state in which it was earned, and taxed on that amount in your state of residence.

Hope this helps.
