Cannot use my Canadian mobile number. How do I access the chat with my tax expert? Any alternate way to contact them?

To preface, I lived in Canada for 1 year in 2023 in which I earned a self-employed income. I am now back in England, UK and no longer have a usable Canadian number. I wanted tax expert guidance, and thought TurboTax would provide an online call in-browser.

 

I couldn't use my UK number so I entered my old Canadian number which I no longer have a SIM card for. My tax expert would not but able to reach me, however I received this email saying I have a new message . I click the link, sign in, then it leads me back to my page where I share my documents.

 

How do I access the chat with my tax expert? Is there any alternative method to contact them so I can provide my UK number? Please advise!

I will have a tax expert contact you by email. He will ask you for a phone contact. Please verify your email for the next 2 days. 

 

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

Hey emilydol, saw this in my inbox. For what it's worth, I unfortunately ran into too many difficulties using with Turbo Tax from the UK and had to go with H&R Block. They did file my taxes and everything was okay, however I did feel I got overcharged. Hopefully things go okay with you. Best of luck

@emilydol You do need a Canadian or a North America number to get a call back from a Tax Expert. They are unable to make any International outbound calls.
