Hi,
I filed my return for 2008 as "Married Filing Jointly" and received the following message as reason for rejection "Spouse on this return is ineligible to participate in the Self-Select PIN program". I filed my 2007 returns as "Married Filing Jointly" via paper as my wife just received her ITIN(replacement for SSN as she is in a dependent visa). I filed 2006 returns electronically as single and had self select PIN. I used the same pin while filing 2008 return and it seems like the e-filing was rejected as we needed a shared PIN instead of self PIN generated while I was single. Let me know in case you know how to generate a shared PIN or resolve the issue.
Regards,
Shankar
