do I send copys of 1040 and state forms to both california and IRS?

Just send the federal 1040 to the IRS.  Send the California 540 to California.  Calif might want a copy of the 1040 too.  When you print it out there might be an extra 1040 after California to send with CA.  There should be a cover sheet for federal and CA saying what to file and where.  Unless you efiled, then you don't mail anything to anyone.
