My turbotax home and business won’t let me file until I enter form 3514 business code. What is that and how do I find the correct code?

The principal business code is a code that the IRS uses to "classify  sole proprietorships by the type of activity they are engaged in"

You would look for a code that most closely fits your self-employment income (1099-MISC income) and enter that.  If you can't find a code that fits, you can enter 999999.

Please click here and go to page 17 and 18.  Find the category closest to your income and then look at the sub-categories.
