Question about state taxes -- signature, drivers ID, and SSN required -- no guidance.

[ah-no 27]

Hello,

I'm filing married -- separate. With the Federal returns, no big deal, I wrote "NRA" under her SSN, printed off the returns and mailed them with a cashier's check.

 

But here in the great state of Kentucky, they have a space for the SSN ....and the spouse's signature.. and the spouse's state ID/Driver's license. 

Where do I even turn for guidance on this issue without paying an arm and a leg? Should I just write NRA again and N/A + N/A for the others? The KY department of revenue website offers no guidance on this issue. 

P.S. Even to file an extension I need to write her SSN, but I'll just do that, send my check, and write NRA, and give the reason as the spouse's status, I guess, to have more time.

I don't want her to get ITIN if possible. 

If anyone can help, much appreciated.

The instructions

https://revenue.ky.gov/Forms/Form 740 Packet Instructions 2022.pdf

say:

 

SIGN RETURN

Be sure to sign on page 3 after completion of your return.

Each return must be signed by the taxpayer. Joint and combined returns must be signed by both taxpayer and spouse. Returns that are not signed may be returned to you for signature.

 

 

Enter Driver's License/State issued ID number.

 

My interpretation is that the spouse not filing does not sign. If any spouse does not have a DL/ID number I would leave it blank.
