What tax code classification encompasses personal, professional, and business development?

[DawnC]

Use consulting and/or education when searching for a business code.    If you can't find anything on the list that matches your description, use 999999.   

Business codes are not used on your tax return at all - those are used for statistical purposes, so don't fret if you can't find a match.    The code you enter won't affect the outcome of your tax return.
