To find and enter the business activity code in TurboTax Self-employed Online:

  1.  Log-on to your TurboTax.
  2. Select Pick up where you left off.
  3. On the left side menu, select Federal then Wages & Income.
  4. On the Your income and expenses screen, scroll down to Self-employment income and expenses and Review.
  5. On the Your XXX info screen, scroll down to Tax details and under Business code, select Edit.
  6. On the Let's confirm your business code screen, click on the blue Look up my business code and Continue.

 

Your business code is a six-digit number that represents the kind of work you do. Different kinds of work have different business codes.

 

When we asked what kind of work you do, we added your business code to your tax return for you. If you left that question blank, we added a generic code: 999000.

 

This info doesn't affect your taxes, it's just something the IRS wants to know.
