Your transmission didn't go through

Exactly what the subject says. Repeatedly tells me the transmission won't go through. I don't know what I need to do. Here is the copy and pasted reason. And before you say anything, yes my phone number is 10 digits and it's correct.

We could not e-file your return for the following reason:

If you still can't transmit your return, go to www.support.turbotax.com for a solution or workaround. In some cases, you may need to file your return by mail. - 601ERRV:5, CustHdr_17 - ?:? - Invalid SMS Number. Must be between 10 and 10 digits.

Are you using a valid US telephone number?  If so, try deleting the telephone number entirely and re-entering it. Sometimes there's an extra space or character that will cause the error. Please see Error message 601ERRV:5, CustHdr_17 - ?:? - Invalid SMS Number. Contains invalid digits for more information.

I've used the same number the last 4 years I have filed with 0 issues. I am military stationed in Japan, I don't have a US number. Should I put a parent's phone number? That's going to be my only option I believe

If you cannot leave the phone number entry field blank then enter any US phone number that can be verified as real.
