I live now in Poland for retirement. I was able to enter my mailing address, but not the phone number (in Poland the format for cell phones is +48 999 999 999). Help?

This problem occurred in entering personal info. The Phone# text box does not accept my phone number here in Poland. Will you be able to fix it?

Unfortunately, you can't enter an international phone number in the Mailing Address & Phone number section of the Personal Interview.  

 

In order to complete and e-file your return, you can enter the phone number of a relative or friend in the U.S,, or a "dummy number" (800-555-1212). The  IRS will identify your entry as a placeholder number - if they have questions, they will mail them to you. 

 

The IRS asks for your phone number in case they have a question about your return (this is rare). They will not, however, call an international phone number.
