copy of federal not required if make under a certain amount?

When i went to print out california tax form to be file, turbo tax did not include a copy of my federal 

On the instructions , there is no directions to include a federal. 

I am assuming it is because I did not make enough income,  8 thousand only

is that right.   Both my brother and parents on their turbotax to california, states need copy of federal and it is included when print out.

Attachments to your tax return.

Do I need to attach a copy of federal Form 1040 or 1040-SR?

Other than Schedule A (Form 1040) or Schedule B (Form 1040), did you attach any federal forms or schedules to your federal Form 1040 or 1040-SR?

If No, do not attach a copy of your federal Form 1040 or 1040-SR return to Form 540.

If Yes, attach a copy of your federal Form 1040 or 1040-SR return and all supporting federal forms and schedules to Form 540.
