including federal tax return with state return when filing separately
We are filing married jointly federally, and my spouse and I each separately in CA and AZ, our states of residence. I have followed TurboTax instructions and prepared mock federal returns to generate state returns. When I file in CA, I need to include a copy of my federal return. Should I include my real filing-jointly federal return or the mock federal return that was used to generate the CA return? The latter has entries consistent with the CA adjustments form but is not real.
