I need information on putting my drivers license docu number. It says not to enter IDUSA and put the first three characters plus the rest information.

I put exactly that and it still doesn’t want to accept what I entered.

If you're filing a New York return for tax year 2025 and have a New York-issued ID, you're required to enter the document number (in addition to your ID number) on your New York state return.

This number is an 8- or 10-digit alphanumeric number located in the lower right corner of your driver's license, permit, or non-driver ID, or on the back if it was produced after January 28, 2014. The document number begins after IDUSA. Do not include IDUSA as part of the document number.

You can see examples at the New York Department of Motor Vehicles website.

Are you sure you a e supposed to enter the rest of the numbers?

A bunch of other NY filers say it needs to be ONLY the first three characters after the IDUSA...and not the whole number.
