I am at the final step and trying to e-file my tax return, but I cannot verify my phone number since I am abroad. How can I proceed without the verification?

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.

I already entered my US phone number, but they won't let me file the return unless I have my phone number verified. I can't receive any text or call at the moment, so there is no way to have my number verified.

Here are two FAQs to help: What if I'm having trouble with my filing verification code? and How do I get a verification code if the email address is wrong?

Your FAQs do not answer the question.  I have the same problem. 

I'm ready to click efile, but TurboTax online will not let me without a phone number.  IRS instructions say a phone number is not required.  So let me efile or give me a refund!
