State tax filing
You have to file in CA. Due to a 2019 court decision, CA now taxes non-resident independent contractors who perform services for clients located in California.

In the Personal Info section of TT, indicate that you had other state income from CA. This will prompt the program to generate a non-resident CA return.
You'll be able to claim a credit on your MN tax return for the taxes paid to CA, so you won't be double-taxed.
In TurboTax, be sure to complete the non-resident CA return before you do your home state MN return, so that the program can calculate and apply the credit.
ALL your income is taxable by your resident state of MN, including the CA earnings.
