In an effort to help protect your identity and fight tax fraud, the IRS and many state tax offices are now asking that tax filers provide their driver’s license or state issued ID number.
Providing this info is not required to file your taxes. However, in some states, omitting this info may delay the processing of your return.
You can still file your return but, depending on the state, you may have to file by mail.
For most states, this information is not required in order to e-file your taxes, but could help speed up the processing of your return and will not affect your return’s submission. If your state won't accept an efiled return without the State ID/Driver's License, you will have to file the state return by mail.
When you come to the screen that asks for your state ID or Driver's License, leave it blank and select "Continue". If the program does not permit you to e-file or file by mail, you will have to Contact Us for one-on-one support.
