Amending state tax return

Hello, when I originally filed my state return from a few years back I forgot to add that years income tax liability on form 760c, line 3. I just amended my state return because that's all I have to add, but after amending my state return, the columns A, B, and C are blank. Is this normal? There wasn't any change to the dollar amount from my original 1040. Was I suppose to amend the federal part also? Turbotax said there was no federal or state amount due after I finished. It instructed me to mail in the 1040X and the original 1040 to the state and IRS. Do I have to include the original 1040 with the amended 1040X with blank columns? Do I just mail it to the state? Why are the columns blank?

Thank you.

No, that ONLY affects the state return. It is reporting the tax liability from the Federal return and that number was generated AFTER the Federal return was completed.

The 760 line 3 tax liability is from the federal return? Why are columns A,B,C on the 1040X blank?

Columns A, B, and C are blank on Form 1040X because the amendment was for the state return, only. But, I recommend you check your entries. Form 760C is only required for underpayment penalties. If at least 100% of the prior year tax paid was paid in the potentially amended state tax year, or if 90% of the potentially amended state tax year was paid in by December 31, then this form does not apply to you and will not change any balance due to the state,

VA Form 760C Line 3 refers to 2019 Income Tax Liability After Spouse Tax Adjustment and Tax Credits.

VA Form 760 Line 3 is a sum of Adjusted Gross Income from the federal return plus additions from VA Schedule ADJ.
