How can I change my principal business code on Schedule C on TT Online? The current code is not valid on IRS's classification anymore and I need to change it .

What browser are you using?   Do you have a different browser to try to see if it makes any difference?   It may or may not, but sometimes browsers are quirky and another one might display the page a bit differently in regards to the links, etc.

HERE IS THE SOLUTION for changing your Business code while using TURBOTAX ONLINE:

1. Go to the NACIS website and search for the keywords to your type of business
2. Once you find your code copy its NAICS Title as it appears on the website
3. On Turbotax Online while editing Wages and Income in the Self-Employed/Business Section click to edit the General Info >>> Work Description
4. You'll see the "Tell us the type of self-employment work you do..." in the text box PASTE the NAICS Title that corresponds to your Business Type.  Ex. I work in...  Other Accounting Services (NACIS CODE 541219)
5. Click continue and once your back in the Wage and Income overview confirm your code has been updated.

Sorry, but this does not work. This problem is STILL happening in March 2023. There is NO edit button for the business code, work description, or work industry. The business code IS important because it is passed through to my state return which is being REJECTED because the generic code of "999000" is invalid.

EDIT: I just deleted the whole Schedule C section and started over. As another detail: the Schedule C was carried over from last year. Maybe that is why certain parts can't be edited?

In April 2023 this is still an issue. I have no edit button for the business code. I was trying to enter 458310. I copied the exact name of the NAIC description (Jewelry retailers)  into the work description field and it still shows the default business code of 999000. I cleared all cookies and cache. I talked to the TurboTax representative, who suggested I try incognito mode in Chrome. None of these worked. I was getting an error for the federal return, with the only option to print the return and file via snail mail. You can bypass the step at the end of the filing process of checking over the return and simply file it. I did that and it worked.
