IND-680-01 e-file error
If the Spouse SSN in the Return Header is under the age of 16 and did not file a tax return in the previous year, then the 'PINTypeCd' must not have the value "Self-Select Practitioner". (value, rule IND-680-01)
Spouses under the age of 16 need to have filed a tax return in any prior year to qualify to use the self-select PIN.
Solution
If the spouse is under the age of 16 and has never filed a tax return:
- File the return on paper with Form 8948, or
- Use the Practitioner PIN method:
- SelectSetup, thenOffice Configuration.
- Select theE-Filingtab, thenERO.
- Mark thePractitioner PIN Program filer (1040 only)checkbox.
- Go to the Electronic Filing folder.
- Select the PIN screen.
- Make sure theSelf-Select PINfield is clear.
- Re-create and retransmit the e-file.
If the spouse is under the age of 16 and filed a tax return in a prior year:
- Go to the Electronic Filing folder.
- Mark theTaxpayer or spouse under age 16 and previously filed a returnfield.
- Re-create and retransmit the e-file.
note
If you mark the
Taxpayer or spouse under age 16 and previously filed a return
field and the return still gets the error, it's because of an error in the IRS master file. You need to file the return using the practitioner PIN method, or you can file it on paper.
