I don't have an official I.D that is not expired. I only have a passport.

Can I still get help from an expert how do I get around the documents without I.D only have a passport?

You are not required to enter a drivers license or state ID in order to e-file federal.  It adds some security but you can skip that screen if you want to.  Some states are pretty picky about entering an ID so if your state will not let you e-file the state you will need to e-file the state.   Meanwhile---renew your driver's license if you are still getting behind the wheel of a car.

As Xmasbaby0 mentions above, you are not required to have a drivers license or state ID to e-file your tax return.  If your state requires additional identification, you may have to print and mail your state tax return.  You can get information about your state's requirement by contacting your state's Department of Revenue.  To find your state's information use this article for contact information How do I contact my state Department of Revenue?  Click on your state.
