1 The link details how to file a married filing jointly federal joint tax return and married filing separately state tax return but it does not clarify when filing state tax return for primary which federal return should be attached to state tax . Should be Married file joint federal tax return or Married file separate Federal tax return(Mock)?

2 Do I need to paper file the state return?
