My wife's state ID is still her maiden name, can we still use it as proof of identity on our tax return?

Yes, entering her maiden name should not cause a problem. The driver's license is included to give her additional protection from identity theft.

You can enter the state ID with your wife's maiden name on your tax return as proof of identity. This will not cause a problem and is included to give her additional protection from identity theft.
