Correct. If you have state specific deductions, they you will have to do a profit/loss calculation for each state as top Tax Expert @ZoltanB45 said. You could not use any type of proration.
TurboTax allows you to prepare five states.
Each state has different filing requirements based on gross and or next income. Some states require you to file a return if you file a federal return. You will have to look up the filing requirements of each state. TurboTax has links to each state tax website at How do I track my state refund?
I see you are using CD/Download which means you will have to buy each state first.
If you use TurboTax Online you are prepare a state, see whether you owe and delete the state without paying. You still may be required to file, but if you don’t owe, there is no non-filing penalty.
However, as top Tax Champ @Mike9241 says, in some states it pays to file to record a net operating loss that can be used against future income in that state.
