You skip it. You do not have an ID to enter. You are not required to enter a driver's license or state ID in order to e-file your federal return. Entering that information adds some security for you, but the IRS does not require it. Your state might be picky about wanting an ID though. If the state will not allow you to e-file without an ID you will have to print, sign and mail your state return.

You can leave that blank.

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.
