[TriLUG] OT: Security concern: H&R Block wanted my DL number to do my taxes

[Joseph Mack NA3T via TriLUG]

They've been doing my taxes for several years. This year I had to give them my 
DL number before they would do my taxes. This caught me unawares. I didn't think 
to ask what would happen if I refused. They just said "We're required to 
collect it". They didn't say who told them to collect it; the IRS, H&R Block...

Anyone know what's going on?

Joe
