  • You can enter the phone number of a U.S. relative or friend.
  • You can also use a "dummy number" like 800-555-1212. The IRS recognizes this as a placeholder and will send mail if they have any questions.

The IRS will never call you.  I suspect the phone number is used by Turbotax but not the IRS.  Also, the address on your tax return should be where you can receive any notices or tax-related mail from the IRS.  It does not have to be where you are domiciled.  For example, you might use the overseas address where you live most of the time, or you might use the address of a trusted friend or relative in the US.
