Need help on CA e-file

[GeorgeM]

I have tried to e-file a CA return and got the following rejection

0686] - The Taxpayer on this return is ineligible to participate in the Self-Select PIN program. Our records indicate the taxpayer did not file a prior year individual income tax return and does not have a shared secret (Prior Year California Adjusted Gross Income). They may still e-file by signing a California e-file Return Authorization Form (FTB 8453-OL). (CA)

[0670] - When the PIN Type Code is equal to "S", the following fields must be present: Taxpayer Prior Year Adjusted Gross Income, Taxpayer Signature (PIN), Taxpayer Signature Date, Jurat/Disclosure Code, PIN Authorization Code, and ERO EFIN/PIN. Exception: When the filing status is married filing jointly, the taxpayer date of death field is significant, and the spouse/RDP date of death field is not significant on the tax return, only the following fields are required on the Authentication Record: Spouse Prior Year AGI, Spouse Signature (PIN), Taxpayer Signature Date, Jurat/Disclosure Code, PIN Authorization Code, and ERO EFIN/PIN. (CA)

This is my first CA return, I had the CA 8453 completed in the return

Any help will be appreciated

Thank you

Try using Option 1 using practitioner pen.

I have never had a problem when filing a new (first year) tax payer that way.
