I sold rental land in a state I don't live in. I have both states open in turbotax. How do I get the info I've entered to go to the stat it was sold in? It's all going to the state I live in.

Your resident state is going to tax you on income you make worldwide, but they also may give you credit for taxes paid to another state.  

If the state where you sold the land has income tax, you will need to file a non-resident return for that state.  To have the income flow to that return, you will need to make sure your set up is correct in the My Info section of TurboTax.  And you will want to complete that non-resident return first, so that in TurboTax your resident state return can pick up that taxes were paid to another state.
