Does 2020 TurboTax allow for pdf attachments to Federal Form 1040? For instance attachment IRS titles "Other Income Type Statement"

I got burned on this one a few years ago and will need it again in 2020, this time I'm confirming whether Turbotax will handle this situation before I purchase.

I should have clarified...my question is relative to e-filing.   Of course printing and mailing allows for attachments.

No.  Print and mail still.

Thank you @VolvoGirl, couldn't find this anywhere on the TurboTax marketing sites.   Year after year, this remains possible with other tax programs, yet not with TurboTax, and for TY 2020, this is ever more important as the IRS mail review is completely overwhelmed.  Guess they just aren't interested in serving the ever growing number of filers needing to attach.

I am filing in the state of Georgia. A donation to a rural hospital requires the attachment of a PDF file.  when i fill out the GA form on turbo tax, it get the following message "Please be sure to attach this PDF (it gives the number of the form) by going back into Step by Step for Georgia and revisit the PDF Attachments Section."

 

Cannot find that information in the step by step and the location of where to attach the PDF form.

 

Help.

As mentioned above by VolvoGirl, you are not able to attach the PDF to the e-file.  You can only print and mail the form.
