I itemized deductions for California state tax return. The filing package for printing prepared by turbotax included federal form 1040 sched A. Do I need to include this?

Yes, you need to include your federal Schedule A with your California state return. 

According to the California website, If you did not itemize deductions on your federal income tax return but will itemize deductions for your Form 540, first complete federal Schedule A (Form 1040), Itemized Deductions. Then check the box on Side 2, Part II of the Schedule CA (540) and complete Part II. Attach both the federal Schedule A (Form 1040) and California Schedule CA (540) to the back of your tax return.

Please view page 3 of the 2018 Form 540 filing instructions below for more information.
