I have lived in Texas all of my life (51 years), I am getting ready to cash in a large long term capital gains item and want to move to North Carolina to retire. My question is, since Texas has no state taxes and I earned my long term capital gains while a resident in Texas, by moving to North Carolina do I have to pay state taxes on this long term capital gains? I will probably move there in Feb. and hope to find and close on a house by some time in March. Thank you in advance for your help.

No, if you made the sale befoe moving to NC. If you sell after moving to NC, then you must report the income on NC tax return.
