No. The Internal Revenue Service does not require a copy of your state tax return to be sent with your federal return. Many states however do require a copy of your federal return to be sent in with your state return. Most have an income limit that triggers this requirement. In Georgia, the trigger is $40,000 and if your federal adjusted income is equal to or exceeds $40,000 then you are required to include a copy of your federal tax return to be enclosed with your state return.

No you do not send a copy of the state income tax return with the federal income tax return.
It depends on the state (we don't know what state you are in) and the complexity of your return. Some states require a copy of your federal return. Some states require a copy only if you have certain types of income or file certain forms. Some states do not require a copy at all. Check the instruction booklet that came with your state tax forms. It should tell you what you need to send. If you are filing your state return electronically you do not need to mail in a copy of your federal return. If you are mailing in your state return then yes a copy of your federal return must be attached.
No, you do not need to send a copy of your state tax return with your federal tax return. State tax returns are filed separately from federal tax returns and typically do not need to be submitted together.
If you are filing Form 5402EZ or Form 540A, do not attach a copy of your federal return to your California return. If you are filing Form 540 you must attach a copy of your federal return to your California return only if you filed any schedules other than schedule A or schedule B with your federal return. If you are filing form 540NR, you must always attach a complete copy of your federal return to your California return.

Nope.
All states except Colorado, Texas, and Tennesee require a copy of the Federal tax return be attached when paper filing.
Yes. Copy B.
No. You enter information from your federal tax return onto your Indiana tax return. But a copy of your federal return doesn't need to be attached.
I don't think they'll ever find out which order you signed your returns in and I doubt that they care. If your concern is that you need to send a copy of your federal return with your state return and are wondering whether you should sign it, that is up to your state. It can't hurt to sign it even if it's not required.
