Had gambling winnings in non-resident states. Do not need to file returns but Turbo will not let me finish my resident state of Alabama?

Need help with Alabama State return regarding gambling winnings.  Winnings came from different states but I do not need to file tax returns in these states.  How do I complete my Alabama state return only?

Which states are these winnings from? They may OR may not be taxable in those states as well as Alabama.

Try this TurboTax answer from last year concerning Mississippi gambling winnings, the most likely source of gambling winnings not taxed by the nonresident state for many Alabamians: https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/3693347-how-to-get-refund-for-state-tax-paid-in-ms-for-gambling-wh... This should also work for other gambling winnings not taxed by the nonresident state, such as Florida (no state income tax, but TurboTax sometimes tries to slip in a special property tax return for FL) or "electronic games of skill" at Arkansas' two racetrack casinos (same treatment as MS; all other AR gambling winnings are taxable, including from racing or "instant racing" games at the same two racetracks).
