Agreed... if you can't verify international numbers, then don't show the 'verify' link.
And, if a US number is required for e-file, please tell us that.
And, if a dummy US number 800-515-1212) works temporarily for e-file, please TELL US. I changed mine, and the e-file finally worked. Then I changed the number back to my Portugal number. Not a great customer experience.
And, if e-file requires (for example) that the Intuit Account Name matches exactly the tax filing name when 'married filing jointly', please TELL US. I had my account name as my own, although we file under my husband's name. I got a wild idea to change the account to his name with middle initial and JR suffix, and that MIGHT have been what contributed to the successful e-file.
The rigamaroll that I've read through with everyone having to reload the software should be a last resort.
I knew that couldn't work for me since I use the web online version.
Anyway... thanks to all for the tips.
