New York Individual Return Driver’s License Requirement
NYS is once again reminding taxpayers that tax returns (INCLUDING EXTENSIONS) MUST include information from their state driver’s license, including the NY document ID number (only NY has such a number), or provide other information. So even if you are filing an extension for additional time to file, NY and many other states will REJECT the extension or tax return AND NOT ACCEPT YOUR PAYMENT, This means that you will be charged late filing and late payment penalties if they reject your extension and payment.
