the IRS does not get the state returns. if it was sent there, it is now shredded and in some landfill or has been recycled. in TT, how do you think you filed the state return - efile or mailed? if you efiled you should have gotten an email to saying accepted or rejected. if rejected then you never fixed it so the state never got it. if no email then it was never efiled. if it was mailed it could have gotten lost
open the TT file again and double check to make sure there is no state return. this would be unusual unless you did something to suppress Ca, you may need to talk to support. if it was prepared, you can print it out to file by mail - efiling is closed. if not prepared, you can talk to support about your options.
