I do not have a NY state document id number? It is required to e-file. How can I file?

Here's from the NY Dept of Revenue.  It appears you can use a driver's license or ID issued by another state's DMV, even if it has expired.  And if you don't have any, NYS says you can indicate as such, I can only assume TurboTax would provide that option.

 

Driver license requirement for taxpayers

 

This requirement applies to driver licenses or non-driver IDs from any state.

You must provide the following information from your (and your spouse’s, if applicable) driver license or non-driver ID:

  • the driver license or non-driver ID number;
  • the issuing state;
  • the issue date;
  • the expiration date; and
  • the first three characters of the document number (for New York State-issued licenses and non-driver IDs only).

If you or your spouse do not have a driver license or non-driver ID, you can indicate that within the software to fulfill this requirement.

What we accept

We accept information from your most recent driver license or non-driver ID. Whether your ID is active or expired, we will accept the return.
