Does turbo tax support form 8805, if not what is the backup option?

if you are asking for federal 1040 the answer is no. the partnership files the form and provides the partner with a copy so that the partner can claim the withholding credit. thus the partner must paper file their tax returns. 

however, if you are a nonresident alien perhaps you should be filing form 1040-NR which Turbotax doesn't do

on 1040-nr the 8805 amount is entered on line 25e

 

Foreign partners must attach Form 8805 to their U.S.
income tax returns to claim a withholding credit for their
shares of the section 1446 tax withheld by the partnership.
Any U.S. person erroneously subjected to the withholding
tax would also receive Form 8805 from a partnership, and
the Form 8805 should be attached to the U.S. person's
income tax return to claim a withholding credit.
