Tax help for military filers

You should use a phone number of a close friend or relative who has a US phone number.  TurboTax does not allow the use of a foreign phone number in the mailing address & phone number portion of the Personal Information section. The IRS will not call an international phone number (or any number as a rule).

  • US Phone Number: Taxpayers should use a US phone number when creating an account for e-filing.
  • You can use a ten digit number such as 800-555-1212. The IRS will likely know this is not a real number, however they do not call taxpayers. Any correspondence will be through the mail, at least for now. 

This has allowed e-file of your tax return.
