How do I get a free state download for a state other than my home state, I pay taxes in 2 states, TT program is only offering a free download for my home state?

I pay taxes in two states, and I prefer to use my free state download for the non-resident state.  In prior years, TT offered me a choice of which state to download, but this year it only offers my home state.  How do I get access to use my free download for the non-resident state (or are we no longer allowed to download a non-resident state?)?

What are you planning to do for your resident state return?  If you need both, why do you care which one is "free?"

And you are posting from online Premier--are you actually using desktop software?  With online TT, each state has a fee.

I just figured out how to do this.  If I open the program, then click "TurboTax" on the menu bar, it will allow me to choose a different state to download.  Thanks for the help, and sorry I didn't figure it out sooner!
