Yes. Remove any Form 1099 that you entered for the California Middle Tax Refund. Otherwise, TurboTax will include it in your federal income.
The IRS has not said it will fix returns that claim the MCTR.

[1] Only for the supplemental Energy Relief Payment received in addition to the annual Permanent Fund Dividend.
[2] Illinois and New York issued multiple payments and in each case one of the payments was a refund of taxes, which should be treated as noted above, and one of the payments is in the category of disaster relief payment.
