Hi,

I have been doing some software testing on utest. It is mostly testing apps and websites. What business code should I use on Schedule C?

Thank you!

You can use the generic 999999 or you can use the Look up my business code link under the box where it is asking for the code.  

These are the IT codes that are listed in TurboTax when you click on that link.

The instruction for Schedule C, state that non-store retailers that sell all types of merchandise using such methods as the internet  should use the PBA associated with their primary line of products sold. 

You could use Principle Business Code 454110.  That would be appropriate.

Use the following link below, to find the Principle Business Code that most closely represents your primary line of product sole.
