Refer to the solutions below if you're having trouble getting your verification code or your code doesn't work.

 

I never received my code

Follow these solutions in the order listed:

  1. (Emailed verification codes) – Check your Junk and/or Spam folders. On Gmail, also check your other email tabs.
  2. Wait about 5 minutes; your email or phone provider might still be sending the message, or your connection may be slow.
  3. Verify your email and/or phone number in TurboTax. Make any corrections if necessary.
The code I received is not working

This usually happens either when an old (expired) code is entered into the current request window, or the request window has been closed.

Here's what you need to do to get back on track:

  1. Request another verification code.
  2. Leave the window open that asks for the code. Closing the window will automatically invalidate the code.
    • If you need to check your email for the code, open another tab or browser session instead of overwriting the request window.
  3. Wait for the verification code to arrive via email or text.
    • This can take a few minutes, so be patient. Requesting a new code will cancel the code currently being sent.
  4. Copy/paste or type the code into the request window. (Don't enter 692-227 if receiving via text – as that's our SMS short code, not your verification code.)
Other Options

 Alternatively, you can select Try something else on the Get help signing in screen instead of a code. Simply follow the onscreen instructions to verify your account.

The IRS would be the only agency that can assist you with this.

TurboTax does not have this information.

 

See the following link as there is a website you can also use to obtain your IP PIN.

Please do not post your personal information in the public forum. It has been removed for your protection. 

 

It can take up to 15 minutes for the code to be emailed to you, and check your junk email folders too. Please don’t try to get a new code too soon as it will invalidate the old code and you’ll end up waiting longer.
