Why are you trying to enter a professional educator license? Where are you trying to enter that?
If you are trying to e-file a tax return, you have to enter a state driver's license number or a state identification card number. You are not required to enter ID to e-file a federal return, but some states are picky (and IL is really picky) about your ID in order to e-file the state return. But...in any event.....your PEL is not a suitable ID for e-filing purposes. If you do not have a state DL or state ID, then print and mail the state return.
