Should I file a AZ state income tax if I live in CA, own a rental property in AZ, collected 13,600 in rent, but my federal shows a -11,000 for rental and royalties?

You must file a nonresident tax return in the state of Arizona if you have earned any Arizona source income. Rental income does count as an Arizona source income. Please view page 7 of the Arizona nonresident booklet below.
I am in a similar situation and this is the answer I received from the Arizona Dept of Revenue:
Arizona nonresidents earning income from Arizona sources and who meet the filing threshold are required to file a nonresident tax return (AZ Form 140NR). Rental income from a property located in Arizona is considered income from Arizona sources. If you are required to file a nonresident return, report the rental income on Form 140NR, line 21.
Note: Arizona does not allow individuals a adjustment to reduce current year income with net a operating loss carry forward utilized on the federal return.
To determine if you meet the filing threshold for a nonresident see Form 140NR instructions, page 1) for the table listing the filing thresholds for each type of filing status.
It looks like the income threshold is $15,000, so it looks like you do not have to file if you did not collect rents beyond this amount. Hope this helps!
I actually bought already TurboTax AZ TAX YEAR 2019 but it seems that the software was suggesting to do the wrong thing as is not checking for the threshold.
Can anyone at IntuIt confirm that the software is not checking for that and might be wrong if total AZ gross income is below $15,000? Also, can I get refunded for the TurboTax AZ TAX YEAR 2019 add in purchase?
Can you clarify for me. Condo in AZ unrented for maint last year and rental income only about $14,000. As I read the below, looks like if gross income under $15000, we would not have to file a return this year.
Is that correct?
Thanks
In the state of Arizona, individuals must file a tax return if they are:
single, married filing separately or head of household and the Arizona Adjusted Gross Income (AAGI) is at least $5,500, or the Gross Income (GI) is at least $15,000;
married and filing jointly and the AAGI is at least $11,000, or the GI is at least $15,000.
Non-Residents
In the case of nonresidents, A.R.S. § 43-1091 provides that Arizona gross income includes only that portion of federal adjusted gross income which represents income from sources within this state. Income of a nonresident from the wages or salary received by the nonresident employee who is in this state on a temporary basis for the purpose of performing disaster recovery from a declared disaster during a disaster period as defined in section 42-1130 is not considered income from sources within this state.
For Arizona income tax purposes, A.R.S. § 43-104 defines the term “nonresident” to mean every individual other than a resident.
@jraybe1 YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO FILE A NR return as your below the filing threshold.

The filing threshold (GROSS RENT) used to determine if a taxpayer must file an Arizona individual income tax return was adjusted for inflation. The filing threshold is based on a taxpayer’s filing status and federal gross income excluding certain income that Arizona does not tax. A taxpayer must file if they are: • Single and gross income is more than $12,950; • Married filing joint and gross income is more than $25,900; • Married filing separate and gross income is more than $12,950; and • Head of Household and gross income is more than $19,400. For more information and income that is excluded, see the table, Arizona Filing Requirements, provided on page 1 of the instructions for the income tax form you are filing
