Why did TurboTax insist that I enter both a tax ID and a social security number for my state government?

    Which state are you filing?  If TurboTax is telling you that you need to enter both, it is likely because this is a state requirement for verification of your Identity.  Many states have implemented new ID verification rules this year.  For example, NY, if you do not have a state ID to enter, their site tells you that it will delay processing of any refund. 

     

    This is all to combat Tax ID Theft.
