That is a Validation Number being sent to your cell phone.

If you don't want it to be sent to your cell phone here are the steps to assist you with that:

    1. Log in TurboTax Account
    2. Top screen, click My Account> Account Settings
    3. Click on Security>input your cell number
    4. A verification code will be sent to your phone
  •  Once your cell phone number is verified, the next time you have the code sent, you will be given a choice to send the validation code to your cell phone instead of email.
