To change your phone number, log into your account, once  in your return click on "My Account" at the top of the screen > click on "Account Settings" > "Security", you will be able to "edit" your phone number from here.

There is huge a bug of turbo tax, hundreds of complains asked on line. No one get a answer. The fact is that you cannot change your phone # on tax files. They always keep your first-time used phone #. You have no way to change or update it.

What tax year?  Did you use the TurboTax desktop editions for the year in question?  Did you also try using the link in Account Recovery "Try something else"?  

 

You have to sign onto your online account using the exact same User ID you used to create the online account.

Close all TurboTax windows on your web browser (including this one).  Copy and paste the account recovery website link onto a new web browser window and run the tool.

Use this TurboTax account recovery website to get a list of all the User ID's for an email address.  Run the tool against any email addresses you may have used - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/account-recovery

If none of the user ID's received will access your online account, then use the option shown in blue on the account recovery website, "Try something else"

 

If you used the desktop CD/Download editions installed on your computer, the only copy of your tax data file and any PDF's will be on the computer where the return was created.  TurboTax does not store online any returns completed using the desktop editions.

 

To access your prior year tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents click on Show.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)

My phone number has changed, so I cannot receive a verification code to sign in.  The recover account form requires an old and new email.  They cannot be the same. Cannot leave that line blank.  I want to change my phone number, not my email address.  I go round and round and getting very frustrated.  HELP!
