What if my mom is in a nursing home and no longer has a drivers liscense and there is no need for a state id, what do we put in this area of the tax form

[LeeM · Accepted solution]

You can just leave it blank. This step is not required in order to file your taxes

In an effort to help protect your identity and fight tax Fraud, the IRS and State tax offices are now asking that tax filers provide their driver’s license or state issued ID number.It will not affect your return’s submission. 

For additional information, you can view the IRS information on the New Security Safeguards. or to see if your state is participating, please contact your state revenue agency.
