There is a known issue that some customers are not seeing the filling instructions and/or summary page on the Cover page. To locate the Filling instructions and Summary Page follow the steps below:

From the TurboTax home screen locate the left panel. Click on Tax Tools, then Print Center. (if you don't see the Tax tools menu right away, open any section of your return, for example your W-2 section, then try again to locate the left panel)
click on Print, save or preview this year's return. The Filing Instructions will be included there.

The issue with the filing instructions noted in February has been fixed in the meantime. If you are still not seeing them, you may need to clear your browser history or update your TurboTax software.

See this IRS webpage for instructions to paper file Federal returns.

See this TurboTax article for information to contact state tax agencies.
