I have seen several reports of this with state only but I cannot get a handle on it. I have CA myself and have printed many real and test returns and no problems.
Getting the beachball is not unusual when printing but sould not last for more then 30 seconds or so. The Mac "hang" timer is rather short and may routines take longer than the timer to complete.
Hangs can be very difficult to trouble shoot if it cannot be reproduced at will and I have not figured out how to reproduce it. Some user have reported that restarting in the safe mode that disables addon extensions and fonts has allowed printing. For others it has just printed after many attempts which leads me to think that there might be some interaction with another (unrelated) process that hogs some resource that TurboTax needs. Do you have other applications running at the same time?

Are there any special forms in the CA return besides the 540?
