What does "Section 29: Detach your state or local return and mail to the appropriate" of the Form 3531 mean?

Thank you so much.

Did you mail in the federal return  and included the state & local returns as well ???   If so the IRS is telling you to remove them and mail them into the correct address for the state/local returns ... they do NOT get filed with the federal return.   

OR did you mail in the federal return  AND  also mail in the state/local return with a federal return attached (as may be required by your state)  to the federal address  by mistake ?  If so please file the state/local returns to the correct address as directed on the filing instruction page that printed with the PDF of the return.

Okay, thanks. Let me reread the PDF of the return. Thanks!
