In TurboTax you cannot enter scansto be included with your tax return when e-filed. As e-file is so popular now, the IRS no longer requires that you attach your W-2 to your returns. If you have a foreign form similar to the 1099-div, the IRS does not want you to include it.

If you need to mail investment details to the IRS, please see the below link.
