Always pay attention to the blue help links ...
The Activity codes on page 17-18 are all 7 digits not 6 digits
To clarify, what are you referring to when you say page 17 and 18? All business activity codes are 6 digits.
Schedule C codes all look like 6 digits on my screen. Where do you see 7 digits?
How do you get to the "Let's look up your business code" screen which looks like where I am looking for?
Turbo Tax has used the wrong code for me this year and I want to correct it - and need to know how to get to where I can do that.
If anyone can tell me the path I would really appreciate it.
