You can't get the efile verification code by text. It's an email verification not a phone verification.

If you have trouble getting the code in your email, then you may be able to verify inside your Intuit Account settings. This is for Online TurboTax in a browser; navigation is different in the mobile app.

In the left menu column scroll way down to Intuit Account.
Then once in the account choose tab Sign In & Security.
See if your email address has a tiny link beside it that says "not verified". If so, click that to verify.
Perhaps once you verify it there in the account settings, it won't ask you to verify it again when you are efiling.
Or if you no longer have access to that email address, you can update the email address that's used for notification purposes in that same section.
