A phone number is not required to file a tax return.  You can enter any number with a valid US area code, such as (203) 222-2222

Enter anything you want for a phone number, with a valid area code. I don't know why the IRS still asks for phone number on tax returns. They're are never going to call you. I've also been told that you can just leave it blank.

Also be aware that when paying your online turbotax fees and the e-file fee, you can only pay with a credit card issued by a US bank in US dollars. Additionally, the billing address on the card must be a valid US address. TurboTax does not accept payments with foreign credit cards in foreign currency.
