turbotax Form 540 instructions: Do not attach any Form(s) W2, Do not attach federal return
https://www.ftb.ca.gov/file/ways-to-file/paper/index.html:
- Attach a copy of your federal return (if not using form 540 2EZ)
- Attach a copy of your W-2
It appears that turbotax has created a W2 for filing which may negate the need to include a copy of the original W2, but that's not obvious or stated. There's no explanation for the differing instructions between California state website and turbotax on including a copy of the federal return.
Also, turbotax collects an email address, but it's not placed on the 540 form where an email address is requested. Using form view I can type in the email address, but I don't know if the lack of automatic input means this field needs to be hand-entered, like a signature, rather than typed in.
