Do I need a drivers license or ID to file 1040?

[robtm]

I'm retired and no longer have a driver's license because I can no longer drive. I merely click that I do not have one when it asks for it and I e file my return with no problem.

From the response, I have decided that the need for drivers license or real ID is not an IRS requirement but one that TurboTax adds.  I'll skip it.  Thank you.

It is not an IRS requirement, but it is a suggest by the IRS and many states do require one if you have it.  Not providing this information in some instances can delay the processing of your return due to the taxing entity wanting ID verification. 

 You can file without it by selecting skip this step. 

Why are you asking for my driver's license or state ID?
