What is the E-File error Code 030 and how do you resolve it?

Taxpayer Prior Year FAGI [Federal Adjusted Gross Income] or Spouse Prior Year FAGI must be valid if IRS PIN or ERO PIN is not valid. 

If the rejection is due simply to bad information on file with the state, there are two options: paper file the return, or turn on the Practitioner PIN option (located under Setup > Office Configuration > Electronic Filing, within the ERO button) and recreate / retransmit the return.

If the rejection is due to the spouse election the year prior, you can attempt to change the prior year spouse AGI to 0 on the federal ELF screen then recreate / resubmit (VA may or may not see this as a valid entry), but the most effective resolution is to activate the Practitioner PIN and recreate / resubmit.
