Business Activity Code

I am a self-employed sports official (umpire). What business activity code can I use? I have used 999999 in the past, and TurboTax won't let me.

    Try using 999000 - miscellaneous.

    Thanks! I have always used 999999. I had special circumstances last year and went to a tax preparer and they even used 999999. This year it would let me.

    If the miscellaneous code suggested still does not work, take a look at the Arts, Entertainment, and Recreation codes.  Code 713990 for example, is for all other amusement and recreation industries.
