Do I need to have my husband's Driver's License to file if he has passed away?

I am very sorry for your loss. 

This is from TT help.

Below is a post from TurboTaxMIchelleT for your answer.  If you are unable to e-file without the driver's license, you will have to file the return by mail.  For most states, your return can be e-filed and will process without your driver's license number.  Hope it helps:

 

Try not putting his License info in.

It might be helpful to know that In most states, entering the drivers license or ID is recommended but not required. 

Delete the license info, then continue, red high lights will come up, then just hit continue again.

It is possible you will make it to the next screen.

  • If your State issued ID (including Military ID) or driver's license is not being accepted, you can leave the driver's license/state ID information blank, and still file your return.
  • Two states, Illinois and Alabama, do require a driver's license to file a state return.
