Unemployment while living in a different state, error with tax witholding

Hi, I was a student in 2020, and like many others moved back home (CA) but filed for unemployment benefits in Massachusetts, where I was laid off.

 

I have registered the entirety of my unemployment benefits to my resident state CA. However, when filing taxes, turbotax says:

 

"Your unemployment withholding of 1190 should not be greater than your MA unemployment income of 0."

 

1190 is the state tax that was witheld. Should I continue to file my taxes with all my unemployment in CA and just have this error where I have 0 unemployment income in MA yet 1190 withheld? Thank you all!
