Working on a 1040NR for a person working and living in the state of North Carolina under a F1 student visa for the entire 2019 tax year. The person earned $24,000 and paid $2,606 in state taxes. Should this person file a state income tax return or do the state taxes paid only impact the federal return?

Proseries seems to force a federal itemized deduction for the state taxes paid but nothing is populated on the D-400 (NC state return). Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated.
