Right. Normally a company is only required to register/pay taxes in
a location where they have some assets (store, warehouse, bank
accounts, etc.) or personnel (including sales personnel but not
necessarily independent sales representatives).
You need to be careful of one thing, though. Some states have
agreements that people in their states will collect sales taxes for
people in the other signatory states. OP should check the laws of
both NC and Nevada to determine if either of them is a party to such
a compact, and if so which other states are involved.
