If I worked in 2 states and one doesn't have state sales tax how and where do I enter this?

I can't select it as another state - it's not an option.

You only deduct the sales tax deduction for your resident state.

Yes, I realize that I only need to pay the one state tax. But there's no place to enter that the other state where I worked doesn't have state taxes. On the pull-down list of other states where you've worked they don't include those states that don't have state taxes. So there is no way for me to indicate that I worked 1/3 of the time in Texas.

You do not have to file an income tax return in Texas because there is no income tax in Texas. @DNP2

I'm still not making myself clear. I'm in Turbo Tax. It's going to figure out my state taxes based on my total amount earned. There is no place to indicate that 1/3 of what I earned was in Texas. Since I can't enter that fact anywhere, Turbo Tax goes ahead and figures out my Maryland taxes based on my TOTAL amount earned. It's frustrating because on the page where it askes if I worked in another state, I say yes and there's a pull down menu but Texas isn't on the pulldown menu since there are no state taxes. But I need to make clear that all of my income should not be used to figure out my Maryland State taxes. I have not found any place in Turbo Tax to enter this.

If you were a resident of Maryland all year, all of your income is taxable in Maryland even if it was earned in Texas.

If you were a resident of both Maryland and Texas during 2024, you'd need to file a part year resident return in Maryland so that you can prorate your income. To do this, you'll need to let TurboTax know that you lived in two different states.

I have homes in both states and live in both states back and forth all year.

You only have to file a Maryland tax return because Texas does not have a state income tax.  If you want to file a Part Year Return for Texas and Maryland, but just because you have homes in both states does not necessarily mean you changed state resident status. Please see Maryland Income Tax - ADMINISTRATIVE RELEASE which discusses your domicile.  @DNP2
