TurboTax won't efile because it says Form 14039 (ID theft) has improper home phone number. It is of form "(xxx) xxx-xxxx" exactly as cell phone. How to bypass and efile?

It complained during reviews, but I could bypass that. The form appears exactly as cell phone. AHH... Fixed it. I had to enter "xxxxxxxxxx". Cell phone number was entered that way(numbers only) but showed as "(xxx) xxx-xxxx". If it matters, Mac version of TurboTax Deluxe

As shown in details, I fixed it by entering it without punctuation. (Punctuation wasn't added to it as I entered the home phone; Punctuation was added to cell phone number as I entered it.)

@129604583 You should receive a 1099-G to report your income from unemployment compensation. You would look for the TIN (tax identification number) located on that form instead of an EIN (employer identification number).
