You don’t say whether you are using TurboTax Online or TurboTax CD/Download. When you mention download, I’m assuming you are using TurboTax CD/Download. You will have to pay for each state whether you use it or not, so I would not recommend that.
You can create a dummy account in TurboTax Online and use totals and then prepare the nonresident states. If there’s a balance due, download that state in CD/Download and file it.
TurboTax Online is free if you don’t file, so you can try it before you buy.
Another option is to check the filing requirements for each state. TurboTax has links to all the state websites at How do I track my state refund?
Finally, you may want to file in every state where you receive a 1099-NEC. The states only see the gross amount, so they may assume you crossed their filing threshold because they don’t know what your expenses are. Filing all states could save you hassles later.
