If the Primary Taxpayer is under the age of 16 and has never filed a tax return, then 'PINTypeCd' in the Return Header must not have the value "Self-Select Practitioner". (value, rule IND-675-01)
Taxpayers under the age of 16 need to file a tax return in any prior year to qualify to use the Self-Select PIN.

note

field and the return still gets the error, it's because of an error in the IRS master file. You'll need to file the return using the practitioner PIN method, or file it on paper.
