My Tax Identity Shield service just sent me an email with this message:
Though the cost of this was included with our last tax preparation when the account was set up it wouldn't allow us to do so with out a cell phone to receive a verification message. This tends to be the new "two step" security system.Tax Identity Shield found a match to your monitored information.
So right now I am on hold with someone who is baffled by the idea there are actually people who do not have a cell phone. We do not have reception where we live, so having one wouldn't be much good since to receive a text we would have to drive a mile or more, get the message and then drive back home.
