There is no way to upload documents that will transmit along with your return. Tax forms like your W-2s, 1099s, 1098s, and other needed tax documents, the program will ask you to enter. But outside of those, there is no way to upload personal documents to transmit with the e-file. If there are other documents that the program doesn't ask for, that you need to send with your return, you will need to mail those in. So you'd need to print and mail the return with the documents. 

This link will give you the instructions on how to print and mail if you are using the TurboTax Online version of the software https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1944348 

The address where you will mail the returns should be on the filing instructions sheet that prints out with your return.

customer is using Turbo tax desktop business.  In the program it asks him to print and sign for 8453-PE, then scan and attach the document to e-file. He has a partner. They both had to sign the form. But the Turbo Tax program is only allowing them to scan and attach one of the sign 8453-PE forms. How do you attach both forms?

Is there any update to the attachment of other forms not included in the tax form list?

I think attachments like 1065 Schedule B-1 for LLC is very often needed when there is one partner who owns >=50% of profit or loss. 

Why cannot Turboxtax attach these docs for filing, these forms won't change the calculation of return but is required to be attached.
