In some prior year's instructions, for those who ended up Paper-filing VA, required the VA-Paper-filed tax return to include a copy of the Federal form 1040 and schedules.....so the extra copy was provided in the PDF in case you ended up paper-filing by Mail.
Thing is, I don't see that now in the current VA "Assembling Yoru Return" instructions for 2023...(page 8 of the 2023 Form 760 instructions). So perhaps VA has removed that requirement, but may still ask for them if they have questions/audit.
