when I try to download 1099's I'm asked to verify that I'm really me. How do I do this?

What type of 1099's are you trying to import?  Is this your financial institution asking for your ID after you Sign In to your account to start your import?

 

Here's info on How to Import 1099 Forms. 

 

If you can give more details, we'll try to help!

 

Or, you can Contact TurboTax Support.
