They want you to send copies of the paper documents. TurboTax can’t do that.

No. TurboTax is not involved in verifying your identity with the IRS or state. You have to follow the instructions as given in the letter you received.

I HAVE TO VERIFY MY IDENTITY

Sometimes the IRS chooses returns randomly to request verification of identity and sometimes there is something on the return that triggers the request. No matter why the IRS has required you to verify your identity, you need to follow their instructions in order to receive your refund. If you do not verify your identity you will not get your refund.
