When paper filing your California Form 540, you need to include all of the tax forms that print with your return. You should remove any piece of paper that says (keep for your records) at the top.
You'll also need to include a copy of any tax form you received that shows California withholding.

I wasn't sure about which Federal forms to include so this explains it. Thank you so much for your quick answer!
Where is the screen shot? I have no idea what the form 540 is and im lost as to what forms to mail in... thanks in advance
Form 540 is the California Resident Income Tax Return. Here is link to the blank form: Blank CA 540-Resident Tax Return
When printing your return in TurboTax, to mail in to the taxing authority, you should print the entire return and all "Schedules" to mail in.
You do not need to print or mail in Worksheets, unless they are requested by the taxing authority.
"Why did you send me a 2019 CA return? " Who are you speaking to?
There are no pages on my 2021 California state tax return that state (keep for your records) at the top. Does that mean I have to print everything downloaded from my return?
Lena - I noticed that the 2021 California state tax return when printed in turbo tax premier no longer has that big bar code thing on it, compared to past years. Is there supposed to be a barcode for the california state tax return this year? It was always there in past years. thanks!
