This is an Intuit problem, they never fully tested their system.
At first their system would not allow to process a 1099-misc with a w2 on the free version, they would make you switch to a paid version in order to process the 1099-misc and then you were stuck in some odd loop due to not having all the fields filled in... Once they gave the user the 1099-misc with CA MCTR , that too had issues and the user was stuck in a loop because their system could not full process the new CA MCTR.
Now even if you just file the Fed part it will still fails... Their system seems to need both CA and FED to go through at the same time so it does not want to work unless you process both.
