Are you trying to e-file?  A driver's license is not required to file your federal return.   What state return are you filing, as you can usually avoid having to enter any drivers license information for state returns too.  Or where are you trying to type it?

The question being asked is whether to enter the driver’s license or ID number with dashes or without during the final submission. I assumed the field would clarify if dashes were not allowed, but that is not the case.

The question above made no mention at all about dashes.   Usually you should enter without dashes and let the software add dashes where needed.

When you are in the FILE section you will be asked for a drivers license number.  The only way to enter it is to type it in.  Why do you ask?   You will also need to enter the issue date and expiration date.
