Does TurboTax or community have a solution to help overseas US taxpayers efiling 2022 returns with a non US phone number?

A phone number is not required to file a tax return. However, TurboTax requires a phone number to be entered. Enter any number that has a valid US area code, eg (203) 222-2222

I was told to efile I must have a US number for verification. I can still file via mail but not efile. Does Turbotax or anybody have a solution in order to efile when not having a US phone #.

A verification code is sent to your email address not to a phone.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for the verification code - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/security-risk/trouble-filing-verification-code/L6X76gZlE_US_en_US?uid=lffia7h5
