FYI - this is still an issue with Turbotax online. I am not able to change my business code in the self-employed version

I have tried three different browsers, all cleared of cookies and other data. I still cannot correct my business code on Turbo Tax Online. There is NO edit option, no blue pencil or word "Edit."

How can I make this change?

Thanks in advance for your help.

 There "should'  be a blue "Edit" link, but for a very small number of people, it may not be, and I don't know why.  See this image:

If you don't have the blue Edit link there, here's how to phone TurboTax Customer Support for assistance.

Also try this.  Look at my image and get a good idea "where" the Edit link would normally be.  Then try hovering your mouse pointer over it and see if you can find an "invisible" link, and/or try clicking in that area.   Perhaps there is a hidden link there but the wording isn't.  It may take some trial and error, but see if hovering or clicking in the area where the blue Edit is in my image finds anything.

Did it help? I am struggling with updating business code on my end.. 

[ToddL99]

Please don't get too wrapped up in changing/correcting your business code - this is just extra info the IRS wants. It doesn't affect your return. The business code entry in TurboTax has no effect whatsoever on your tax calculation.  

If you want to update it, see the following screenshots  for aid in navigation. I was able to successfully edit my entry in TurboTax online Self-Employed.

[ali4u11]

I understand that it has no tax impact but I NEED to change for my 8A application to be complaint with requirements.   Turbobax online has no option to update.   CAN SOMEONE HELP???

[ColeenD3]

There is an edit button under the set-up portion of the Schedule C.

[ali4u11]

In my online turbox tax  there is no edit button...i am told that i need to redo taxes using deluxe software i.e. download version. I need help fixing my online turbo view

[ColeenD3]

[ColeenD3]

The screen above is from the Online version. If you can't edit, you can delete the entire Schedule C and begin again.

[ali4u11]

Please help me understand how is that a good option i.e. deleting schedule C on which I spent most of the, if not all the, time in updating my taxes. I might as well start from scratch with another company if I have redo schedule C.

I fail to understand why cant someone from IT update business code from the backend i.e. the database or option B why cant IT duplicate and copy over the data for me to new schedule C. 

To avoid this I called/chatted with few agents prior to starting my 2020 tax return so dont have to go through this now and this can be taken care earlier. I was told this will be updated once i complete my tax return and when I am at that point I need to call back. Now, I am at that point - this is extremely frustrating and now i am being left on an island without any assistance.
