<<"Make sure you prepare the Nonresident California state tax returns first.">>
Not in this case. CA and AZ are "reverse credit" states. This means that - contrary to the usual - with CA and AZ it's the non-resident state (CA) that will credit you for the taxes paid to the resident state (AZ).
Therefore in TurboTax you should prepare your resident AZ tax return first, before you do your non-resident CA return.
