If you do not live in the US, select "Foreign or U.S. Possession" from the state dropdown menu in the "My Info" section. This option is located at the very bottom of the state list (past Wyoming) and tells TurboTax you are not a resident of any US state.

You are correct that the sales tax section of TurboTax only allows you to enter a state in which you lived to deduct either tax on major purchases or the simplified calculation based on state of residence. However, in the sales tax section, you can designate that you lived in a particular state for the period of time in which you made a major purchase. Also, if you are on active military duty, you should use the sales tax rate of your home state of record because to the IRS, that is where you are considered to live for income tax purposes.
