Double check your wiring in the outlet box to have: White from power cable to line side silver or white (or side with larger prong slots) of receptacle unit. Black from switch cable to line side gold or black (side with smaller prong slots) of receptacle. Other two wires connected to each other. Nothing connected to load side terminals of receptacle unit. All ground wires (green and/or bare) to each other with an extra length of bare wire connected to receptacle green screw if no green wire already provided.

Thanks! That was the issue, the wires were not setup correctly. They originally (just purchased the house), had pig tails for the black wire from the outlet and black wire from the switch, and that would be reversed anyway for a normal outlet, I think.
But this setup works with the GFCI, and the GFCI does not trip when the switch is turned off.
(I’ll also mention that these were all brand new Leviton SmartLock GFCI’s purchased at home depot a couple days ago.)
