Can I receive a verification code via text and not email because I’m using my phone to complete this transaction?

No, unfortunately we are not allowed to text the code.

We're required by the IRS to verify your email before you e-file.

Unfortunately no.  IRS rules say your email must be verified.  Here is a link with some discussion.
