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.
