1099 6 digit code for schedule c-ez for "independent salesman"

[kovacsst4]

I was a self employed 1099 misc salesman and I need a 6 digit code to enter in box B of the Schedule C-EZ form.  Looking in the online instructions from IRS.gov regarding schedule C-EZ does not specify a code for Salesman.  Only other categories.  Can anyone tell me what is an acceptable code?

You would need to review the codes and see which best fits your type of business. It will be most likely under retail trade or wholesale trade. See the link below. It doesn't have to fit your business exactly. It is more a means for the IRS to make sure you are not taking deductions that have nothing to do with your trade or business.
