1099- NEC

My son participated in a food ambassador program for a City in which he received a 1099-NEC.    This is prompting him to file a Schedule C now, however I'm not sure where to locate the business code for this.   Any recommendations are appreciated.

1099- NEC

The principal business or professional activity code is a six digit number that represents the field of work you are in. This code is entered on your Schedule C. The complete list of codes can be found on pages 19 to 21 of this IRS document.

 

This code is for statistical purposes only and does not affect your tax. If you do not find a code corresponding to your activity, you can enter 999999.
