If you were a Utah resident all year, except for a brief period for vacation or to complete a transaction, you are a Califonia nonresident. If your W-2 showed only Utah wages and taxes, then you should only need to prepare a Utah return.
As a California nonresident, you would only pay California tax on your taxable income from California sources.
California-sourced income includes, but is not limited to:
- Services performed in California
- Rent from real property located in California
- The sale or transfer of real California property
- Income from a California business, trade, or profession

If your W-2 showed some California income or you have identified some California-source income, then you would report this in TurboTax where prompted.
