Transcribing Telephone Numbers

Enter the first 10 characters of the Preparer's Telephone Number from the Preparer's area of the return, or from the stamp, label, or written below the Preparer's area.

A-Z and 0-9 are valid.

If two telephone numbers are present, enter the first 10 characters of the first complete telephone number.

Ignore blanks and special characters.

Disregard a leading "1" or "011" , hyphens (-), and parentheses [()].

Do not enter the telephone number if it is incomplete (not at least 10 characters), any characters are illegible, or if all the characters are the same.
