I have filed my federal taxes and received a refund . Didnt file state yet. This was a paper filing

A month later i received some forms i should have filed originally.

Now i created an amended return and i will submit to IRS paper filing.

But since i didn't submit the original to the state yet, do i file my original first and then wait for it to be received with IL-1040 and then file IL-1040X?

The packet that turbo tax generated has a IL 1040X and a IL 1040 which has updated numbers. This updated number is asking me to pay money to the state assuming i received a return from the original filing .

"Didnt file state yet."

You can't amend something that was not submitted.

Whenever you amend you lose the original copy. That is why you must backup your return before amending. There is no practical dway now to get back your original return. You might have to get the state forms from your state's website and complete them manually.
