I revised my comment above concerning your 1098-C when I noticed in the forms table (link given above) that the Form 8283 for Federal returns doesn't become available until 2/07/2024. Even though you said you are taking the standard deduction, it may still affect the way it flows to your California return, and thus the roadblock until the 8283 becomes available. I don't know for sure, but just thinking out loud. See my edited comment above.
