TurboTax will send a text message to your phone with the six-digit code. You will need to provide your mobile number.
I need a 6 digit code to finalize my taxes for the email
Make sure to leave the window open that asks you for the code. If you close this window and go back after you receive the code, the code will no longer be valid. If you need your browser to get your e-mail, open a new separate window, don't close. Also, make sure you are using the most recent code and not using a prior one. Every time that you ask for a code it cancels out all the previous ones that were sent and only takes the most recent. Please wait a few minutes after each code request to receive your email. It is not generated instantly.
You can also request your code via text message. To receive your codes through text please complete the following:
If you are still unable to get the code to work through text, choose I forgot my user ID or password and then choose I don't know my email address or user ID. You’ll be asked to provide some information about yourself, and then you’ll be asked a few questions verify your identity. If that method fails, you’ll get a phone number to contact customer support.

I am at a computer now to file 2018 taxes. You sent me a 6 digit code. I enter the code you sent to me by email. And computer told me code had expired. Can you help me with this?
You must leave the window asking for the code OPEN while you use a second window to check the email ... if you close it the code will not be valid.

What type of 6-digit code? The emailed code to verify your email address prior to efiling? Or a 6-digit IP PIN, or what?
In either case, the 6-digit code cannot be used next year.
Only the 5-digit Self-Select PIN (where you chose the digits) used to sign your return can be used again next year, if desired.
The IRS sends out a new IP PIN every January and the program issues a new code every year as well ... last year's number will no you no good.
We cannot call you.
