If you have no other income to report in the non-resident state, you probably don't need to file a return there. Rental loss can only be used against other rental income in most cases.
Every state has its own rules regarding nonresident returns. For example, nonresidents with more than $33 in Pennsylvania-sourced income must file a return, while nonresidents with less than $600 in Missouri income don't have to file.
If you're not sure, your best bet is to contact the Department of Revenue in that state, or visit their website. Most state websites have a section devoted to nonresidents and part-year residents.
In TurboTax Online, you can indicate in the MY INFO section that you 'made money in other states'.
However, you may want to confirm that you actually need to file there before paying to add a state to your return.
