If you are in New York, you can find the Document Number (an 8 or 10-character combination of numbers and letters) on the back of your NYS Drivers License in the first line of text after IDUSA. You will not enter IDUSA as part of your document number. You will enter the first three numbers or characters after IDUSA.

TurboTax uses the driver license and non-driver ID information as verification to protect taxpayers from fraud and identity theft.
If TurboTax still won't accept your driver's license Document ID number, you can try clearing your cache and cookies. Then go back in and try entering it again. Click here for How to clear your cache. Click here for How do I delete cookies?
If this does not work, you should be able to continue without entering a document ID Number. Select the option "I do not have a drivers license" if it is available.
For many state returns that ask for a Document ID Number, you can actually leave the document ID (8-10 alphanumeric characters) blank and continue to e-file. Some States may require this number and you will have to print and mail your return instead.
