In the TaxSlayer web version, entering a State ID or Driver’s License is generally optional for most states. However, if the taxpayer is filing with a bank product, providing a State ID becomes mandatory for identity verification.
How to Enter a State ID in TaxSlayer Web
1. Select the State ID/License Tab
Navigate to the State ID/License section.
Choose the appropriate license or ID type from the available options.
2. Enter the ID Details
After selecting the ID type, enter the required information, including:
License/ID Number
Issuing State
Expiration Date
3. If the Client Doesn’t Have an ID
If the taxpayer does not have a State ID or Driver’s License, select "No Driver’s License or State ID".
If the taxpayer has an ID but chooses not to provide it, select "Not Provided" to proceed.
Key Considerations
✔️ Providing a State ID is encouraged for identity verification and fraud prevention.
✔️ If using a bank product, the State ID is required for e-filing.
✔️ If no ID is entered, some states may require additional identity verification.
