Only US phone number is accepted

The IRS doesn’t call. In order to complete and e-file your return, you can enter the phone number of a relative or friend in the U.S,, or a "dummy number" (800-555-1212).

Thank you for the suggestion to use a dummy US phone number to create a Turbotax account.

I did this and proceeded to take an hour or two and prepare my 1040 online.

Unfortunately the Turbotax payment system is also flawed as it insisted on a US format phone number to pay Turbotax. Putting in a dummy number simply doesn’t work, my credit card is registered to my UK address and they weren’t fooled by a dummy number.

So I’m no further forward.

Are you trying to pay your TurboTax fees with a credit card that is not a U.S. card?
