I always have to file my federal and state returns by mail due to special circumstances. Every year before there have been instruction pages when I printed the returns. This year, those are absent. I could look back at instructions from previous years, but I don't know for sure that they are the same. Is there someplace else where I can find these instructions listed?
This is a known problem. See this TurboTax support FAQ - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/filing-instructions/filing-instructions-printed-return/L5dsPiWbO_US_en_US?uid=m6qwrd13
Go to this IRS website for the federal tax return mailing address, by state. with or without a tax payment - https://www.irs.gov/filing/where-to-file-paper-tax-returns-with-or-without-a-payment
is there any guidance or resource offered in the meantime? I am trying to figure out what, if anything, needs to be attached to each state and fed return. I spoke to someone on the phone who said nothing needed to be attached, but he also said that I should mail my state and fed return together to the same address, which I'm pretty sure is incorrect.
It's a feature, not a bug. TurboTax is being really pushy about e-filing this year. When I selected "File By Mail", it immediately reverted me back to e-file on the next page. I had to opt out of e-filing twice.
To mail your return, you will need to separate the federal and state returns.

For your state return:
When I go to the FAQ link provided, it says the problem has been fixed, and so the information is removed. The poroblem is NOT fixed.
@jonhoyle The Filing Instructions page will be included if you use Print Center for your tax return.
