Yes! Unbelievably sending a DM on Twitter is what worked. I have a few issues with the way this was handled. What resolved the issue ultimately (thank goodness for Amanda on Twitter) was that I had to go to my profile and validate my phone number - insert a "valid number" then receive a text message with a code to enter into Turbotax.
The problem is I'm an American filing from outside the US so I put in my international number. There is a selection for country but in the end it only accepted an American phone number (Turbotax really should fix this if they want to include Americans abroad who don't have US phone numbers anymore).
Thankfully a friend was still awake and accepted the text for me, I entered the code, then filed away just fine.
The error message was really annoying because it didn't actually help solve the issue and I realize it's my fault I waited (like many people) until the last minute but honestly...Twitter.
