Based on what you said, all of your income should be taxed in California.
@JohnB5677 - Thanks for your reply! I don't get a W-2, but I do see OR noted in boxes 17 & 18 of my 1099. Apparently from what I've been reading that makes it taxable in OR, but I'll also get a refund from CA which will help offset it.
When you say did I include OR when I selected my states, do you mean separate state returns? So far I've only selected a CA return.
If you are Self-Employed and your income is reported on Schedule C, you don't need to file an Oregon return.
All your income is considered to be earned from your Home Office in your Resident State. You did not actually work in Oregon.

That's what I thought too, which is why I'm confused that the TurboTax return is showing a refund for CA and advising me to file OR. I should actually owe in CA if that's the case and I'm not sure how to fix it. I talked with a TurboTax rep and she said to file OR as well as CA. I'm really confused.
How do I get the program to add the income to CA since the payer added it to my 1099 or OR?
Try Deleting Oregon if it has been added to your TurboTax.
Then Delete California, add it again, and go through the CA interview.
Since your income is not on a W-2, TurboTax may not add it automatically to your CA return.
You may need to manually enter the amount when asked for 'California Income'.
