Is it possible that you made contributions to a Health Savings Account (HSA)?
California does not permit the deduction of contributions to an HSA from state income - this means that your taxable state income is higher than your taxable federal income (so your tax in CA goes up when you enter the HSA information).
Of course, we in the Community cannot see your private tax data, but this is a common enough cause.
