Which forms should I mail the state for an amended return?

I created and printed an amended tax return for 2017. I would like to know exactly what to send my state (CA).

 

Here is what the TurboTax PDF has:

 

  • The PDF created by Turbo Tax has 90 pages.
  • pages 1 - 50 appear to be related to my federal return
  • Page 51 is a cover page with the title "File by Mail Instructions for your 2017 California Amended Tax Return". It says: Your amended tax return - Form 540 with Schedule X.
  • Form 8453-OL says "DO NOT MAIL THIS FORM TO THE FTB"
  • Pages 53-58 are Form 540
  • Page 58 is California Schedule X
  • Pages 59-60 are Schedule CA (540)
  • Pages 61-63 are California form 3801
  • Pages 64-65 are Schedule E
  • Pages 66-67 are Form 3885A
  • Page 68 is a two year comparison
  • Page 69 says "California Electronic Filing Information Worksheet"
  • Page 70 is another cover page with "Your amended return checklist"
  • There are 20 more pages of forms after that.

Exactly what should I send my state? I would think it is pages 53 to 58, but I am not sure. Is "Schedule CA (540)" part of form 540?
