If my 2019 return was rejected, I think because my driver's license is suspended and I did not file in 2018. Is there a way to proceed with filing?

It depends on the rejection code specifically. In many cases, yes, once the issue is resolved, you would be able to proceed with electronically filing.

Regarding not filing in 2018, the Adjusted Gross Income should be entered as -0-.

Regarding the driver's license, some states, such as Alabama and Illinois, a driver's license is required.

Click the links for guidance for Illinois driver's license related errors and Illinois signature requirement errors. Illinois does allow an IL-PIN instead of the driver's license which would allow taxpayers to electronically file. IL-PIN can be looked up on their website: IL-PIN Lookup.

For Colorado, only use numbers, but do not enter any special characters such as - or * or spaces. Be sure there are no extra spaces at the beginning or end.

For Texas, there is a date format advised. If any blanks or extra numbers are entered, an error message is generated. Highlight the cell and click delete several times before trying to enter again to completely clear the space of any extra blank spaces or extra numbers.

I filed my 2018 taxes with using Turbo tax. The license I Used expired 01/03/2020. I have an updated license to replace the expired license. So how can I edit the license?

@marvfuller

If your e-filed federal return was accepted by the IRS, then you don't need to do anything. If it is rejected because of the license number issue, you'll have the opportunity to correct it and re-submit.

Driver's license information isn't necessary for your federal return.

However, without this information, the processing of your state tax return may be delayed, in certain states, and some states may not allow you to e-file without it.

Please see the TurboTax Help article “Why are you asking for my driver’s license or state ID?” for more information.

If you haven’t already filed your return, please see this previous guidance on editing your driver’s license information.
