This sounds like a NY document number requirement. This is a required input that can be found on the back of your NY license.  You can find the number after (not including)  "IDUSA." There should 8 or 10 digits, of which you enter the first 3 to satisfy the requirement.

 

For more information, see Where do I find my document number so that I can e-file my New York return?
