Won't accept foreign phone number, how do I get around it?

[athhar]

I don't have a US phone but TurboTax won't accept a foreign number.  It won't let me leave it blank.  How can I get around this oversight and file my return?

Add a US phone number for the Turbo Tax profile.  You need to click Intuit Account in the lower left of the Turbo Tax page and enter a U. S. phone number and then your password and save it.  I don't even think it needs to be a valid phone number because when you go to file the return, it gives you an option to get email updates and/or text messages.  Just make up a U. S. number if needed and don't check the box saying you want text messages and you should be able to get the taxes filed.
