Does the 8332 Form get mail with both Federal and States returns? Do you mail original form signed form or copies?

Doing my divorced son’s taxes.  He is mailing his 2018 Federal 1040, Illinois and Missouri State Income tax forms.  He has four 8332 forms signed by his ex-wife.  Should orginal signed forms be mailed or copies of these forms?  Should the form be sent with each of the three returns?  He does not feel comfortable with sending the returns online.  Thank you.

You only need to include the Form 8332 with the Federal return.  Mail the original, but be sure and keep a copy for your records.  As for mailing vs e-filing, electronic filing is much more secure and faster.

I have another question; not an important one and maybe silly. On MO-1040, there are no additions or subtractions to income and nothing was noted on MO-1040 for this.  On MO-A, there is nothing to fill out.  Should MO-A be attached to the MO-1040 with the personal info. only?  The Tax Calculation Worksheet has been done.  Should it be attached to MO-1040?  Thanks again.

Heres one more.  Taxes are finished.  Getting ready to mail.  Should I attach state MO W-2 Filing to IL-1040?  Should I attach IL W-2 Filing to MO-1040?  I have duplicate state W-2s.  Thanks.
