When e-filing a state return...
1) Will TT forward all the state-required federal forms along with state forms - I'm specifically wondering about federal forms schedule D and federal form 8949/4797 (sales and distribution of capital assets) ?
2) How can I tell what federal forms TT actually sent to the state?
3) If the state "accepts" my return after e-filing, does that imply the state got all the forms they were looking for?
Yes, I can assure you that TurboTax transmits the required federal forms with the state e-file transmission.
When the state accepts your return, it is not indicating that it received all the forms, because the state doesn't know what forms are being filed. It means there was no problem with what was transmitted. That said, you couldn't e-file a state return if there was no federal return attached.
You can check what forms are transmitted by viewing a PDF of your state tax return. From the Print Center, select "All official forms required for filing".
Thank you, DavidD66...
Unfortunately, when I look at the PDF for the state (WV) return... it does not include several fed forms that I'm reasonably sure the state requires. It only shows/includes the WV state forms. That's what led me to ask my question here.
Well, all I can tell you is that I am 99% certain that all the federal forms required are transmitted to the states (including WV) when the state return is e-filed using TurboTax. The only reason I don't say 100% is because I can't prove it to you. You'll just have to have a little faith. If for some reason West Virginia doesn't get all the forms required, they will let you know and you have to mail them copies. Alternatively, you can choose to file your WV state return by mailing it.
