Hi, Chris.  South Carolina requires that you “[a]ttach a copy of the letter you received at the time of adoption from the SC Department of Social Services which certified the person as a "special needs child"” (see <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://dor.sc.gov/forms-site/Forms/SC1040Instr_2017.pdf">https://dor.sc.gov/forms-site/Forms/SC1040...>. )  Unfortunately, TurboTax can’t include this document in an electronically-filed tax return, so to conform to the instructions, you’d need to mail your return.
