Why is my contact information so important?

We need a valid email address in order to send you updates on whether your e-filed tax return has been accepted or rejected by the IRS.

When you sign in from a device we don't recognize, we'll send a verification code to your email address or phone number to make sure it's really you.

Also, if you forget your password, a valid email address or phone number is needed to reset your password  after you successfully pass the other validations.
