Death of a spouse in November, will I need to provide drivers license for her when I file my turbo tax?

The driver license information is not required for your federal return e-file but you may need it for your state return e-file. If you have an issue, you can mail your tax return in though as you don't need driver license information to file a return, only to e-file it in some circumstances. I am sorry for you loss.

Entering a drivers license to e-file a federal return is not required by the IRS---it is offered as an extra layer of security.  So, you can skip the drivers license section if you want to.

Very sorry for your loss.  For the year that your spouse died, you can still file a joint return.  That way, you will get the married filing jointly standard deduction of $27,700 (+ $1500 for each spouse 65 or older) which will lower the amount of income you are taxed on.

In My Info, you will need to indicate that your spouse died. When her name is in My Info,  there is a screen early in the interview that asks "Do any of these apply to [name] ?’” where you will do that, and then a drop down will appear where you can enter the date she passed.

If you have qualifying dependent children you will be able to file as a qualifying surviving spouse  (QSS) for the next two years after this tax return.  Post back if you need further help.
