This only works if you are based in the US. I am foreign taxpayer therefore this form cannot be filled out. What's the next approach?

It's awful and there is no live customer service either. All these companies just want to take the money and we don't have that many options.

You can call TurboTax and speak with an agent.  TurboTax customer service/support does not have a single phone number but has many different phone numbers based on the type of platform used.  So that we can direct your call to the best person/department to help you:

  1. Click on this link:  https://support.turbotax.intuit.com/contact/
  2. Select your TurboTax platform.  
  3. Ask your question / state your problem.  Do NOT use the word "refund' or you will get a phone number for tax refunds.
  4. Click Submit.
  5. On the next screen, choose the Call option and follow the instructions.  You will be given the approximate wait time.  

You'll get a toll-free number to a TurboTax expert who is specially-trained to handle your particular issue.

I am locked out of my account since yesterday. I need to get back in to sign and file my taxes. Yesterday the account froze, had chat help, but could never get back in. Need to get in and see if it will work now.
