Why am I being sent a verification code?

A verification code gives us a secure way to know it's really you signing in to your account. This helps keep your account safe.

Verification codes can be sent to either your email or your phone (if you've entered a phone number on your FreeTaxUSA account).

How can I avoid needing a verification code next time?
We will always send a verification code when you sign in from a device we don't recognize. If you want us to remember your device so you don't need a verification code next time, be sure to check the "Remember this device" box after entering your code on the next screen. Learn More
