IRS Verify Account via Text Message
I need to get a copy of my tax returns so I can file 2019 and the only way I can get them is through their online process, where you verify yourself 6 different ways and the final verification is...
Check out this much more detailed post: Still can't verify T-Mobile phone # with IRS.gov
On IRS.gov It accepts my tel# and I am sent to the page where I am supposed to type in the activation code that i receive through SMS but I never receive the SMS containing the activation code. I checked my T-Mobile account and have no "blocks" added. IRS.gov accept my cell# as valid but the text is never sent to me. This happens with my bank and credit cards as well, but in those situation they have a "call option" where I get a robot calling me to tell me my code. Why are my text messages blocked when my account clearly has all blocks set as "off"?
