What does CA stand for--California or Canada?

This is a USA TurboTax community forum. If you're asking about Canada, here's the main TurboTax Canada site:

https://turbotax.intuit.ca/tax/software

And the TurboTax Canada community forum:
https://turbotax.community.intuit.ca/community/turbotax-support/help/03/en-ca

If you are using USA TurboTax and asking about a California state return, you need to explain more about what/where the roadblock is. Be aware that while you can use the California state return interview, California forms are not yet ready for efiling. Some of the California forms will be ready on January 28, while others won't be ready until February 11. See this table:

CA = California:

01-14 I filed my Federal taxes, not the California as the forms were not available. I recieved an message stating they were ready. I am unable to get in my taxes and locate them.

The forms availability table at the link I provided above shows the CA state forms are not ready, so your email may be in error. But I'll ask someone familiar with the CA state return to comment when they are next in the forum.

@VolvoGirl Do you know the status of CA state forms? The table says they are not ready until January 28, and some on February 11. Are people getting a "ready" email in error?

If you log in and the interview is closed, then to open it back up, at the Tax Home click on a link "Add a State". That doesn't add one, but opens the return back up so you can work on it.

NOTE: You said you already filed the Federal return (I'll assume by efile.) Even when the state forms are available, you won't be able to efile a state return by itself until your Federal return has been accepted. The IRS starts processing Federal returns on February 12, except for a few returns pulled early for testing.
