Why did you pay CA taxes? Were they withheld by an employer? Did you earn the money while physically present in CA?
If you were NOT physically present in CA and you did NOT have CA source income, but for some reason had taxes withheld and paid to CA, you would need to enter your CA income as $0, and then enter the amount withheld. This will allow you to claim a refund.
If you do have CA source income, even if you do not live in CA, you could have a tax liability to CA.
