You can edit the business code on the Business Summary page in TurboTax Online. Go to your Self-Employed work summary. You can search for Schedule C and use the Jump to link to get back there.

Click on Edit next to your business (it will currently say Rideshare driving).
Scroll down to Business Summary and click on Edit next to business info.
Scroll down to Tax Details and click Edit next to Business code.

Possible Business Codes:

492210 - Local Messengers and Local Delivery: Best for independent operators delivering pre-ordered snacks to stores.
424400 - Grocery and Related Product Merchant Wholesalers: Suitable if you buy the inventory and resell it (wholesaling) rather than just delivering it.
492000 - Couriers & Messengers: General code for independent contractor delivery services.

Thnak you
Yes my coding is correct on the form # 424400
How ever on the "Your Audit Assessment is ready" Page it questons my reporting of inventory. In the years past it never questioned this item, but now it does.

It says this "It's uncommon for someone who works in Food delivery driving to have Inventory expenses. Double-check the rules around claiming these expenses to make sure they apply to you and make any necessary changes. If you do qualify for this deduction, then you don't need to change anything." Which makes not sense.
It must have something to do with new question(s) for this year at the beginning of my having to enter my Self-employed information. The question was about what type of food delivery or something like that. Apperently it did not change my coding from my importing of last years information, but the software prep started asking a lot wierd questions that do not pertain to my bussiness, such as 'did I work/or deliver for Uber-eats, etc.'? Even with a no reply the software gave me some questionable commments and then moved to the next step.

I wanted to go back to those first questions and fix or better answer those questions so that i would not recieve the software in asking about why I have inventory for my bussiness.
Or since the code input is correct, should I just ignore the audit summary and move on?

You can ignore it. It's just a prompt to make sure errors aren't made. If you have reviewed that all of your information is correct, you are good to go!
