Well, I am really in a pickle now. I deleted the nonresident CA return and finished (or THOUGHT I finished) the OR return. I did the auto-review and TurboTax said it looked fine. But importantly, though it gave me a refund amount like I had completed it, there was no breakdown of actual taxes paid, (as I'd seen for the Federal return). Instructions gave the next step as adding a CA return. I thought, "Oh great! This is what I was expecting." However, I'm deep in the CA return and I'm in the section talking about CA giving me credit, but it wants the Oregon tax amount. I don't have one because it's not showing up anywhere. When I navigated back to the screen showing "Status of State Returns", it shows I did reviews of both returns, but it isn't showing them completed. And more concerning is the note I saw (which I swear wasn't there when I initiated the CA return) -which states "Important: Complete your nonresident return(s) first." I copied the paragraph below just so you'd know I wasn't seeing things. Since this is the opposite of your advice and previous comments I'd read as well, I am REALLY confused. Any clarifications would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
