Before entering a phone number, I was asked to enter a phone number after the "lets verify your phone number". There was no other option provided to me at the time for selecting to e-file. After entering a dummy phone number the second screen is what appears. I understand what Turbo Tax is attempting to do here, but it's in the wrong location, conniving to be in this order of the prompts, and should provide an alternate method for verifying someone's identity. Phone numbers are not a requirement for electronic security verification and should never be as it is a common source of information for any random person. If this is not being cross-referenced with information already provided in a person's file, this is absolute not a viable action step to closeout the final step of a customer's taxes.
