we cannot see your return and without further clarification we cannot fully respond. We do not know your income, amounts withheld, if you were a part year resident, etc.
You sound like you were a part year resident of California from 9/1 to 12/31 and will have to file a return to see if you will owe further or get a refund.
You may want to do a little more research here on residency and tax rates.
https://www.ftb.ca.gov/file/personal/residency-status/part-year-and-nonresident.html
Are you a USA citizen or a non-citizen? If non-citizen, what country is your citizenship?
What is your status in the USA; what type of visa?
What date did you first come to USA, and are you still here?
Are you married?
The reason I ask is that TurboTax can only prepare returns for USA citizens and "resident aliens for tax purposes." If you are classified as a "non-resident alien for tax purposes", you would need to use Form 1040NR, which TurboTax does not prepare, but we can tell you a TurboTax affiliate that can.
Please answer all the questions I asked above. I'm not an expert on international filing, but I've asked @pk to assist here when next in the forum (thanks, pk).
