CA does allow credit for taxes  paid to another state  -- where it does not allow credit is for "reverse credit "  states/ situations.  AZ is one of the states does allow credit to CA resident/entities when AZ allows credit.

In your particular case, I believe, AZ is not giving you credit on income earned in AZ because you will be taxed on that income in CA.   You are paying taxes to AZ  on your non-resident AZ return, right?

 

 In such a case , you do your federal return first then do the non-resident state return ( AZ) and thereafter do the  resident State ( CA ) --- TurboTax  will pull the  AZ taxes paid/incurred on to the CA form and give you the credit.

 

Do you need more specific help  or is this sufficient
