why was it sent to your cousin? Not good practice to have it sent to others. Why not contact your cousin?

You didn't say what the verification code is for.   Are you talking about the 6-digit email verification code that some people need to continue efiling? i.e., the one used to verify your email address?    If so, you can update your email address inside your Intuit Account.

 

  • Log in and in the left menu column scroll down and click Intuit Account.
  • When the account settings open, go to left menu column and click Sign In and Security.
  • You should be able to update your profile including email address, if necessary.
  • If you do update the email address, it may at first have an "unverified" tag/link next to it.
  • If you click that "unverified" link and follow the steps it gives you, you can verify your email address.
  • Then go back to the FILE section to continue efiling.  You may have to verify it again there, but the email address will hopefully have been changed.

 

So if that's the 6-digit code you are talking about (i.e., email verification during efiling steps), here's also some more info:
