Automatically attach state returns when required for electronic filing

If there are multiple state returns present for a 1040 tax return and a state return requires that the other state's return(s) be attached, ProConnect makes you download the state return and attach it manually. 

ProConnect should have a feature that automatically attaches any necessary state returns when required. This would be a significant time saver and would reduce the chance of a state return getting attached with the wrong information. For example, a state return could be attached, but then corrections are made to the tax return that causes the original state return attachment to become obsolete. You would have to redownload the state attachment and reattach to the return.

By having a feature that automatically attaches state returns when required, this would ensure that the most updated return is included for electronically filing.
