Thank you! I I carefully read through the whole forum about this issue and tried lots of krazy stuff over the past few days. I am an expat in Barcelona and was very reluctant to contact family/friends in the U.S. to beg them to pretend that their phone was mine, had them inform me of codes to verify numbers, etc.
I did this as you said (enter a U.S. land line in the Intuit Account phone field, and had that number coincide with my contact number on the tax return), et voilà! It worked!
