You will also be taxed by California on the income you earned in Massachusetts. 

California taxes their residents on all income, no matter where earned.

I just called Turbo Tax, and they said not to file for CA.

Yes, that is correct. You do not have a filing requirement since you did not have any California source income during 2019. You are only required to file a California state return if all of the following facts are true:

  • You are required to file a federal return
  • You received income from a source in California
  • That income is above a certain amount
