Finished getting Dad's papers ready for the tax person only to find out they now want his Driver license number, issue date and expiration date. He is 94 and hasn't driven for over 6 years and license is from another state and not current. Yes I could take him to get a state I.D. and realize this is for identity protection but it just doesn't make it any easier. Thanks.
"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 ... Providing this info is not required to file your taxes. However, in some states, omitting this info may delay the processing of your return."
