CA State Tax -- Turbo Tax shows Tax Due, CalFile shows a refund.

I was filing my daughter's taxes using TurboTax and after entering all the information from her W2s, Turbo Tax calculated $15 state tax due.

I decided to see how I can file for free online using CalFile.  I entered all the information on CalFile and CalFile is showing a refund of $11.

Why is this different?  I was expecting the two to be the same.

 

Should I check my other returns as well?  I have checked and double-checked all the numbers and still can't figure out why.

Any ideas?
