UPDATE – 3/23/18 – NY Returns where the TP or SP has an expired Drivers License can now be entered and submitted electronically.
Scenario: You are preparing a return and the taxpayer/spouse has an expired Drivers License
Concern: Currently you cannot enter an expired date in the driver’s license section on the e-file page
Solution: We are making a change to the application that will allow the entry and electronic filing of returns with an expired driver’s license for the state of New York.
Recommendation: If you have a taxpayer in this situation, the State of New York recommends you hold the return until you can enter the appropriate expired date. You can use a return tag and the notes section to so you can go back and enter the data.
