How do I attach a required "bad debt statement" to my return after entering it on my form 8949 as a bed debt loss?

See the Requirement for the statement is here: https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc453#:~:text=The%20statement%20must%20contain%3A%20a,decided%20the%20... and TurboTax help is here: https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tips/irs-tax-return/how-to-report-non-business-bad-debt-on-a-tax-ret... , but nowhere can I actually attach the statement, and the answer of how to do it does not exist.

TurboTax does not support attached statements; you will need to print and mail your return.

Can I e-file my return without the required "Bad Debt Statement" and then USPS-mail in the statement separately?  I am an active trader with too much activity to print my return; it needs to be e-filed.

If the form or schedule is not listed on Form 8453, you must mail in the entire return.
