Not sure of the business code.. plz help

[SGlover16]

My husband has started to sell replicas of signed baseballs, cards since last year. He has a lot of expenses for research and development last year. I think this is a sort of retail small business but I need to know the exact  code. Can someone help me?

Depending on whether you operate a store or sell online, some of the following codes might apply:

453310 - used merchandise store

453990 - miscellaneous store retailer

451120 - hobby, toy & game store

454110 - electronic shopping and mail-order houses

999999 - unclassified

Choose the one that most closely describes your business, but do not worry if it is not an exact match.  The business code is used for statistical purposes.

You're welcome.  Remember you can always estimate any taxes you may owe and file an extension to get more time to file the actual return.
