What should I do when turbotax asks to fill out ecsrow fees I’ve paid and I don’t have those documents? Can I put estimate amounts instead of actual numbers?

I bough my house in 2006 and refinanced it in 2011 with a different mortgage company. Then I started renting out my house through a management company in 2018. Due to rent income, I need to file schedule E and TurboTax is asking details of escrow fees when this house was purchased.  However, the original documents are stored in a different state which I can’t get to at the moment. So I asked the realtor but the answer was they only keep documents for 3years and the initial escrow and mortgage companies are bankrupted. So my hopes to get the documents are either through the second mortgage company (if they have any) or I have to fly out to get the original.

is there a way I could obtain those documents even though the initial companies are bankrupted?

Any help would be wonderful..

Make a good estimate since it will probably not even come into play.
